The lifting of suppression orders showed the attacker, Sri Lankan Ahamed Aathil Mohamed Samsudeen, was served a deportation notice in April 2019 after his refugee status was revoked.

New Zealand had been trying for years to deport an Islamic State-inspired radical who went on a frenzied stabbing attack, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern revealed Saturday, saying it was "frustrating" he was allowed to stay free.

In 2016, he came to the attention of the police and intelligence agencies after expressing sympathy on Facebook for terrorist attacks. The country's immigration agency looked into ways of detaining Samsudeen during the appeal process through the Immigration Act, according to Ardern. "In late August, officials including the commissioner of police raised the possibility of expediting the amendments," she said.
