^^" as well as assisting law enforcement to arrest and imprison,
or deport, any persons their community has knowledge of having hostile intent of committing terrorist acts in the UK."
Try to read more carefully pls. You cannot deport citizens. You can *arrest and imprison* persons (citizens) as the law allows -- sedition, conspiracy and the like ... I believe that the UK has revoked the citizenship of some jihadis leaving to join ISIS in Syria and Iraq also.
Every group has a community of some sort -- organizations, spokespersons. Mosques, Religious leaders, business associations, *community groups* Silent acquiesce to these terrorist acts will provoke violence.
If these terrorist attacks were happening in the USA the vigilante acts would be most violent -- guaranteed
No way to know the accuracy of these numbers ...

23,000 Terror Suspects In United Kingdom Keep Intelligence Agencies Busy
London: Some 23,000 terror suspects may be at large across Britain, the country's intelligence community say after the Manchester attack by a Libyan-origin man who was on the radar of the UK's spy agencies. The scale of the challenge has emerged in the aftermath of the Manchester suicide bombing that killed 22 people and left 119 injured.
Reports that Libyan-origin Salman Abedi had been on the radar of intelligence services had added pressure on the MI5 to reveal what they knew. MI5 or Military Intelligence 5 is a British spy and counter-terrorism agency.
Now government sources have told sections of the British media that they believe 23,000 people with extremist tendencies are living in the UK. Of this, 3,000 people have been judged to pose a threat and are under investigation or active monitoring in 500 operations being run by police and intelligence services.
The 20,000 others have featured in previous inquiries and are categorised as posing a "residual risk". Meanwhile, Greater Manchester Police released CCTV images showing suicide bomber Abedi on the night he attacked Manchester Arena at the end of a US singer Ariana Grande's concert.
