Steve convened the No One Is Illegal group in September 2003 after publishing a book of that name earlier in the year for Trentham Books.
During the 1980s and 1990s Steve was a campaigning immigration-law barrister, fighting and winning many landmark cases, including those of Viraj Mendis, Nasira Begum, Anwar Ditta, the Rahman family, Khan family, Okolo family, Okanlami family, Decardi Nelson family and the Anderson family.
In 1989 he established the Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit (GMIAU).
