Journalism.co.uk reported earlier this week that the NUJ was preparing a legal challenge against the order, which could see economic and current affairs reporter and union member Charles Atangana sent back to Cameroon.
According to a report by the NUJ, Atangana has lived in the UK since he fled Cameroon in 2004. He was claiming asylum citing harassment, detention and threats to his family in his home country.
But on Friday the NUJ announced that his application for leave to apply for judicial review of the deportation order against him was refused.
They will challenge this with a request for an oral hearing before judges and will also be holding a lobby at 1:00pm on Monday outside the UKBA offices on Brand Street in Glasgow.
Atangana is reportedly being detained at the Colnbrook Home Office detention centre.
