It’s reported that the person who ‘volunteered’ for removal to Rwanda is already untraceable. I hope he’s safe & has just remigrated like most of the other people forcibly relocated.

All this madness does is perpetuate the churn of humans in distress & feeds further remigration.

A week of sustained government assaults on the right to seek asylum after years of threats & brutality. A pernicious plan to create fear, desperation & drive people into the dark corners of our country. A government complicit with exploitation.

Loved this statement from an Indian student group at UCLA!!!

🚨 BREAKING: women are being targeted for forced removal to Rwanda

Around 8 women have received ‘Notices of Intent’ (NOI) and have been detained at Yarl’s Wood.

They have already survived traumatic experiences and were trying to rebuild their lives in the UK.

We have seen the brutal treatment of communities and protestors carrying out acts of solidarity + support with migrants.

We will not allow this cruelty to happen in our names. The fight for migrant justice + community resistance must not be silenced. Solidarity✊🏽 Anti Raids Network

URGENT: Call IMMIGRATION RAID COMPLICIT coach company *GRANGE TRAVEL* NOW!

🚨 Grange Travel coaches are complicit in immigration raids! One of their fleet (BF73 CFK) is currently abetting the enforcement of the illegal Rwanda bill at Best Western hotel today!

🧵

Peckham high road is now completely blocked by people resisting the removal as well as resisting the arrests made by police.

There are many many more of us than the police. They’re not going anywhere.

Come and join us and we can stop them together.

🚨 CALL-OUT: LEGAL OBSERVERS urgently needed at Best Western Hotel, Peckham, SE15 5EU 🚨

Update:

A large crowd is surrounding the coach in Peckham, which has been immobilised.

But they might try to remove people with a different coach later today or even tomorrow, so even if you can’t come now, come join later.

🚨 CALL-OUT: support needed at Best Western Hotel, Peckham, SE15 5EU 🚨

Comrades have stopped our friends being taken to the Bibby barge - but more numbers needed!

We’ve also learned the coach is meant to be taking people from three other hotels en route (see next tweet):

The Home Office coach in Peckham is not going anywhere right now.

A tyre has deflated itself (roads these days huh) & lime bikes have appeared underneath.

But we need to maintain a presence throughout the day to stop any attempt later.

If you can come later, please join ❤️

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.

Raids incorporate all the elements of #kidnapping . Fear (of the unknown), elements of forcible entry, coercion, taking away the means of contact with the outside world, asportation, relocation and traumatization.

The last time the government tried to detain people to deport them to Rwanda, we had a 100% success rate at getting them out of detention 💪💪💪

We hope to do the same again.

Here are 5 ways you can help:

SUPPORT NEEDED: Large police numbers at Eaton House.

Comrades are resisting immigration detention NOW and need support on the ground.

Head over now if you can! 🚨

📍Eaton House, 581 Staines Road, Hounslow, TW4 5DL.

🚨BREAKING: The government has confirmed they are detaining people in preparation for forced Rwanda flights.
