Deportation, one-time practice (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extradition

'deportation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'one-time practice' is the wordplay.
'one-time' becomes 'ex'.
'practice' becomes 'tradition' (tradition is a kind of practice).
'ex'+'tradition'='EXTRADITION'

(Other definitions for extradition that I've seen before include "Process of handing person over to foreign justice" , "Handing over offender" , "Process of handing over a criminal to a foreign jurisdiction" , "Handing over of someone to a foreign government" , "delivery from abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
