The AASC contract has long been plagued by lack of transparency. Info on compliance to Home Office own standards is piecemeal, opaque and makes real accountability impossible. Now Liberty Investigates uncover it's not only data is not all public, Home Office don't have it all.

This is an incredibly well written, and needed, first hand account of what immigration raids mean in practice from someone with the knowledge to speak about it. They are highly racialised, highly disruptive, disturbing, and dehumanising. Increasing them is far from the answer.

Bring justice this to those unlawfully detained under Rwanda scheme 👇👇👇

People seeking protection should NEVER be warehoused in prison-like conditions. Instead of segregation & re-traumatisation, they need housing in communities so they can recover & rebuild their lives. Write to your MP & ask for #CommunitiesNotCamps✉️👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-a…

Investing more in hostile border measures will further increase deaths at our borders as methods to avoid detection will increase danger. Create safe pathways. Deaths will reduce. It’s a choice between avoiding deaths & causing them. It’s that brutally simple.

Yvette Cooper’s borders announcement today is a betrayal of everyone who voted for change. Ten days since racists attacked asylum seekers & mosques & today Labour announce they’re ramping up the failed narrative that we can just get rid of the people we don’t want here. #r4today

Labour's plan to reopen Campsfield House and Haslar IRC is a disgrace! Local communities in Oxford and Gosport have already spoken out against these inhumane facilities. Recycling Tory cruelty won’t fix our broken asylum system—it’ll only cause more harm. news.sky.com/story/immigrat…

My piece of the Big Issue on why The Labour Party needs to change tack before it sinks on small boats policies. Talking tough didn't work for Sunak and it won't work for Starmer. We need policies which focus on protection not further enforcement. bigissue.com/opinion/labour…

The govt has announced a “major surge” in immigration enforcement. The stated aim is to 'smash the gangs’ but will instead punish people who have come to the UK to seek safety. Our blog explains the announcement and what you can do ⬇️ #NoOneIsIllegal righttoremain.org.uk/solidarity-in-…

‘Women fleeing rape face coercion and control by Home Office contractors Survey says refugee women are subjected to voyeurism and sexual harassment by male staff at hotels’ Such an important piece of research from Women for Refugee Women 🧡 theguardian.com/world/article/…

Virginia is one of the bravest & most inspiring people I’ve met. Refused asylum despite enduring brutal abuse in her home country as a woman in a relationship with a woman. Surviving years in poverty in the UK. Please do sign & share her petition to stay. change.org/p/we-are-virgi…

At least 12 people, with hopes and dreams, have died trying to reach the UK. Any politician who says they are shocked by these deaths is lying. They know the only way to 'stop the boats' is to open up safe routes so nobody has to risk their life to get here.

As we wake to the news of another awful - and so horribly inevitable- tragedy in the Channel, BBC News (UK) looks at the French perspective, framing this repetitive trauma as a problem very much of Britain's own making. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Sugar-coating hostile immigration policies and deportations by making charities complicit is not the answer. We will not do the government's dirty work. The govt must end all racist deportations and removals that tear our communities apart. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Plan to house asylum seekers at former Dambusters home dropped A significant step forward by Labour. Now close Wethersfield & Napier. People need to be part of Communities, not held in Camps. Expensive, cruel, traumatic & massively impedes integration. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

This is a dire statement, which starts with platitudes about those who died in the Channel this week, then goes on to outline nothing but greater enforcement and criminalisation. Nothing about compassion and welcome. New government, same old rhetoric.

A summit of law enforcement agencies will give you law enforcement solutions to this humanitarian crisis. Presumably migrant rights groups, independent lawyers or refugee representatives aren’t invited in case they give answers Cooper doesn’t want to hear news.sky.com/story/home-sec…
