My 21 year old constituent was detained this morning. I understand he was subject to a notice for some time. He was taken to a detention centre in Middlesex as far as I know. They do this so that any support networks you have find it impossible to reach you. 1/2

We are deeply concerned by reports of Home Office plans to detain people seeking asylum ahead of the implementation of removals to Rwanda.

Scotland has a long history of opposing shameful policies like these. We stand in solidarity with anyone affected scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk/rwanda-raids-a…

Pleased to report that the eviction has not been carried out.

Our movement and all those across Scotland who reject these cruel, inhumane raids, should stand ready to oppose the Home Office every step of the way.

Messages from frontline asylum charities wondering what to do in face of gov claiming start of asylum arrests tomorrow:

1. People are frightened, be careful not to allow our fear to spread further to them. Be calm. Remember your role is to listen, present options, don’t direct.
