Justin "Kutmah" McNulty was born in the UK to an Egyptian mother and Scottish father. He moved to the US when he was 12 years old. They immediately applied for US residency to keep from being sent to Egypt.

The US court ruled that as a British citizen Kutmah would be able to live in the UK and denied their application.

Kutmah returned to court to plead his case fourteen years ago when he was 20.
