I've spoken to dozens of people who've been detained by immigration enforcement during these dawn raids. Tactics include a battery ram to break open doors, separating distressed family members, hauling them out in front of their neighbours and friends. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
In December, right after Cleverly started to hack away at social care visas, I went to Scarborough to shadow Evans, a care worker from Ghana. He and his colleagues said if they'd known about the latest move, they would've gone to the US or Australia. theguardian.com/global-develop…

NEW: The Home Office can only locate 38 per cent of the migrants it intends to deport to Rwanda. Only 2,143 of the 5,700 of the migrants Rwanda has agreed to accept "continue to report to the Home Office and can be located for detention". Info slipped out by @ukhomeoffice in a…
This is the inevitable outcome of this government's inhumanity. Everyone in the sector has been warning that its plans would see people drop out of the asylum system and go "underground". Sunak et al have created a traffickers dream come true. #r4today bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Distressing situation for so many who are simply seeking safety and protection. MPs and Peers must speak out for a better system predicated on fairness and compassion.

This is what forced deportation has always meant in practice. All the legislation to make this happen was words on a page, all the politics abstract ideas. But now nobody can look away from the real impact on real people’s lives; locked up for asking for help.

NEW: I understand Dame Diana Johnson has appointed David Neal as an adviser to the Home Affairs Select Committee she chairs. Neal was sacked as chief borders inspector by James Cleverly for leaking his unpublished reports to the media. This will go down very badly in govt…
This has become all too normalised. Govt will say proves necessity of Rwanda scheme. It proves action has to be taken. But will Rwanda work? There's never been any evidence that it will. And always seemed to me to have been devised by people who had never talked to those crossing
Caseworkers aren't even trained yet! Not one person has been identified. Not one airline is on board. Absolute joke. #r4today
Andrew Mitchell MP fails to declare that he has received tens of thousands in consultancy fees from the Rwandan Government….
"We are reasonable people trying to do a reasonable thing," says Rishi Sunak, who plans to override international law and a decision by the UK's own Supreme Court, in order to deport refugees and victims of modern slavery to a brutal dictatorship
“If you look at the statistics, Kigali is arguably safer than London” says the Deputy Foreign Secretary Andrew Mitchell. The Rwandan police opened fire on asylum seekers in 2018, killing 12.
He insists there are functioning safe passages for Afghans to the UK through ARAP. Wrong. In reality, countless thousands of Afghans have been let down and betrayed by Britain. But even if it was true, you could then easily accept the amendment.
“I was privy to some inhumane conversations using the words ‘let’s boomerang them’, ‘bloody migrants’, ‘let’s take them in Cat C and treat them as prisoners.’” theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

Just one of those minor unreported Home Office travesties, which demean people's lives.
Thanks a bunch @ukhomeoffice for your heartless decision to refuse my beautiful Chinese daughter-in-law a visa to accompany my son on a short visit to the UK to attend his brother's wedding and meet the family including his 97 year old grandmother. So cruel. We are heartbroken.
This is what forced deportation has always meant in practice. All the legislation to make this happen was words on a page, all the politics abstract ideas. But now nobody can look away from the real impact on real people’s lives; locked up for asking for help.
I've spoken to dozens of people who've been detained by immigration enforcement during these dawn raids. Tactics include a battery ram to break open doors, separating distressed family members, hauling them out in front of their neighbours and friends. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

Sometimes, courage and resilience is so strong it can take your breath away. Free Evan Gershkovich now.
