A woman who fought to stay in the UK over fears her daughters could face female genital mutilation in Nigeria has been deported, her lawyer has said.
Afusat Saliu, 31, and daughters Bassy, four, and Rashidat, two, were put on a flight on Tuesday, lawyer Bhumika Parmar said.
Ms Parmar said she had spoken to Ms Saliu in Nigeria who was "really upset at the situation".
The lawyer said she would continue to fight the case.
The UK Border Agency arrested Ms Saliu and her daughters on 28 May.
In an earlier statement, the Home Office said the case had gone through the "proper legal process".
The family was held held in a detention centre before the deportation. A previous removal order on 30 May was delayed by the Home Office.
Ms Parmar said permission had been granted for a judicial review.
Ms Saliu fled from Nigeria in 2011 claiming her stepmother had threatened to subject Bassy to female genital mutilation.
Ms Saliu, herself a victim of FGM, was pregnant at the time.
More than 120,000 people have signed a petition calling on the Home Office reconsider the case.
