Protests are taking place all over the country at the detentions of asylum seekers to be sent to Rwanda.
Here in the East Midlands, at Loughborough Immigration Office, it looks like Mitie is the company being used by the Home Office to detain these vulnerable people when they report. It's a Catch 22. If you don't report, your asylum claim is null & void & you become liable for deportation anyway. #Rwanda#HomeOffice#HumanRights
The Home Office will launch a surprise operation to detain asylum seekers across the UK tomorrow..
Officials will hold refugees who turn up for routine meetings at immigration offices & also pick people up nationwide.
They will be immediately transferred to previously prepared detention centres & held to be put on later flights to Rwanda.
Anyone who takes part in this disgusting operation is breaking international law.
"Police in Scotland have been put on alert because of the high risks of street protests and attempts by pro-refugee campaigners to stop detentions.
Local communities in Scotland have twice prevented deportations by staging mass protests on Kenmure Street in Glasgow, in May 2021, and in Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, in June 2022."
We need the spirit of Kenmure Street across the UK.
The Great Lakes are a treasure, a place of serenity and peace. Lake Michigan sunsets are wonderful to behold. In this image, the sunset is framed by a border of late summer leaves.
Wäre ja zu schön, wenn sein Schuss nach hinten losgeht. #Fahrverbote > #Homeoffice Gebot > Büros zu #Wohnraum > belebte Zentren > viel weniger KFZ-Pendler > viel mehr Platz für Fussies/Radies/Bäume/Läden/Cafes > weniger Lärm/Blech/Feinstaub/Tote > höhere Lebensqualität. Danke #Wissing !
Families in Gaza have won a legal case against the Home Office after a judge ruled the department’s decisions were a “disproportionate interference” in their right to a family life.
Two challenges were brought against the Home Office in February this year after it refused to decide on family reunion applications from families in Gaza without biometric data, including fingerprints and photographs.
"I really felt angry for the double standards that the Home Office used because they opened protection routes for Ukrainian people to come to the UK and for us, they haven’t considered that … they created reasons to justify that my family are not under target and in danger.
I provided a lot of evidence and nothing convinced the Home Office that my family are under immediate danger"
