It's actually more, from MSN

The Labour government has accelerated the removal of Foreign National Offenders (FNOs), deporting nearly 10,000 foreign criminals in the latest 12-month period. This includes significant figures such as almost 100 murderers, 600 sex offenders, and 2,300 drug offenders.

All 10,000 are those convicted of crimes, not those who outstayed visas etc.
