đšđšUPDATE ON THE RWANDA DEPORTATION FLIGHT. Struggling to keep up to speed with all the urgent updates? Us too đȘ But here is the key info as it stands at the moment: đ§”
The European Court of Human Rights has said that one asylum seeker should not be removed to Rwanda tonight

We understand that there are still 3 people who were taken one by one in vans from immigration detention today, who are en route to an airport. It is not clear which one but many suspect Stansted.
Those 3 may be able to rely on the ECtHR decision to resist their removal as well

We understand that all 3 have lawyers so work will be going on to try get them off the flight too.
2 people were successful in their legal cases whilst 14 of our activists blockaded the road outside Colnbrook IRC. At least 8 activists have been arrested & taken to custody

LONG THREAD đ§”#Rwanda50 how we can #StopThePlane - this is fight of our lives, a defining moment. We cannot let this crime against humanity stand. & while amazing #Activistlawyers work behind scenes to stop this plane, it would be mistake to rely solely on courts (1/20)
This has 2b fight BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY & on all fronts. No one org can do it all, look at this list & think what connections u have, what actions u can take to #StopThePlane then do it. Anyone whose thought âwhat would I have done in Nazi Germanyâ- this is your time. (2/20)
We have UK govt determined to destroy human rights in the UK & rip to shreds the very right of seeking asylum - theyâve no tears, they donât care about horror stories - we will not win by a moral or legal fight alone. #Rwanda50 #StopThePlane #EndDeportations (3/20)
#Jamaica50 update 𧔠weâre still in early stages of speaking to detainees, so far 12 detained. All bar one received these Removal Directions today for the flight on 18 May. This thread summarises what we know so far #StopThePlane (1/15) 
This #Jamaica50 flight set to be FULL of those who came as kids & those with learning disabilities & other disabilities. 7/12 came UK age 12 & under. 7/11 (1unknown) have learning disabilities, 3 dyslexia, 1 ADHD & 3 with other general learning difficulties #StopThePlane (2/15)
1 of those, EW has learning disabilities so severe he requires constant care from his mum. The three with learning disabilities have clearly been exploited from childhood & are potential victims of trafficking #Jamaica50 #StopThePlane (3/5)
Here we go again. We can all look forward to another round of political vitriol, painting a picture of every person on the #Jamaica50 charter as a violent, dangerous man, who must be deported from to keep the nation safe. A 𧔠1/8
Youâll not hear the back stories of those on the flight who are trafficking victims; whose crimes were committed as a result of being groomed by #CountyLines gangs; and who were threatened and exploited as kids #CCE 2/8
The govât will avoid mentioning the failures on behalf of the state for those onboard whose criminality can be traced back to failed care arrangements by social services; the undiagnosed, the expelled, and those who grew up in a system stacked against them from the start 3/8
BREAKING: Young asylum seeker on roof of @CrownePlaza threatening to kill himself - fire brigade there. neglect of asylum seekers in these hotels & extreme isolation of places like Crowne Plaza make deaths inevitable #RefugeesWelcome #EndDetention #EndDeportations (thread 1/8)
Almost 400 asylum seekers in this one hotel, inc families & children, inc severely disabled children - weâve known people left without a GP for 4-6 months despite serious health conditions #RefugeesWelcome #EndDetention (2/8)
This is hand of one mother @CrownePlaza whose been begging for a GP apt for months, this painful condition covers a lot of her body & she has no treatment plan - her young daughters have had tooth pain for a month & no dentist apt (3/8)
Who are #Jamaica50 ? Itâs important to get truth out fast about people @ukhomeoffice have swept up in racist dragnet of Jamaican community ahead of Aug mass deportation charter flight. This thread tells some of their stories #StopThePlane #StopCharterFlights #EndDetention (1/16)
1. MM came UK age 11 to join father, indefinite leave to remain (ILR), 19 yrs UK. 7 British kids, 5 w/wife inc newborn. Convicted possession/intent, original trial judge gave suspended sentence noting good character & deserved second chance. CPS appealed, revised to 3yrs (2/16)
That was 1st & only offence, out of prison since 2019. Wife is carer & he took care of kids as she worked through pandemic. Constituent of @AlexNorrisNN who is making reps on his behalf. This govt doesnât believe in âsecond chancesâ for the black community. #yesItsRacist (3/16)
At 2am this morning, in the cover of night, 13 British residents were forcibly put on a deportation flight to Jamaica.
On board were ppl who themselves had been victims of exploitation & trafficking, ppl who left pregnant partners, parents, children, friends, communities behindđ

This violent act has torn families apart unnecessarily and without due process. Our thoughts are with those who suffered loss and face increased hardship at what already is a difficult and distressing time.
The Home Office has been prioritising the deportation of people with criminal records. Targets have been set, and access to justice decimated as many are deported before their appeal. People who have been criminalised are individuals with varied experiences and complex stories.
Letâs talk children. Imagine being a 14y/o boy seeing ur dad in prison every wk of 2yrs inside except when #COVID19 meant visits stopped. Youâre excited cause heâs due out Thurs - day b4 your 15th Birthday. Youâve been planning & thinking about it 4 mths #Jamaica50 (Thread 1/7)
Lockdown & visits stopping has been so hard but your parents reassure you itâs ok cause this is the day heâll be out, heâll be there for your birthday. So you try to keep your head down, get to grips with online learning, keep focused. It isnât easy. #EndDeportations (2/7)
Itâs been a struggle living without your dad cause heâs been there all your life. Your parents are stressed and distraught, they are scared to tell you that your dad likely wonât be coming out for your birthday. #Jamaica50 #StopDeportations #YesItsRacist (3/7)
Watching the #Stansted15 appeal today, extending solidarity on behalf of @LSWUnited and @blkprotestlegal. @bencsmoke live tweeting the proceedings and Iâll be posting some updates too. Clare Montgomery QC currently setting out the grounds on behalf of the appellants.
The language of the Act should be interpreted restrictively. The offence is one of the utmost seriousness, carrying a potential life sentence and subject to universal jurisdiction.
Immense concerns raised about the chilling effect these convictions have on legitimate public protest. The ramifications of applying terrorism related legislation in this context could mean those supporting/encouraging the #Stansted15âs actions are also caught in the same web
Spoken to 10 #Jamaica50 detainees & confirmed dets for 8 - this is who @ukhomeoffice planning 2 shackle & put on charter flight b4 Xmas at height of #COVID19 Fathers to 31 Brit children. Men whoâve been in UK most of their lives #StopCharterFlights #EndDeportations (thread 1/8)
To carry out flight, up to 20 people will be shackled with waist, hand & feet restraints w/ guard either side of them as they are forced on a plane. Because of Coronavirus restrictions they will not have been able to say goodbye to their children and families in person. (2/8)
In many families the father looked after children while partner worked; many mothers (inc several key workers) are now facing additional costs of childcare & may have to stop working. Several fathers not felt able to tell their kids about the flight cause afraid of impact (3/6)
Spent 2day following up w/ cross channel refugees detained in #Yarlswood - picture emerging of vulnerable people denied right to legal reps & contact with outside world in drive to deport as quickly as possible. Here are some of things weâve learned... (thread 1/9) #EndDetention
Detainees being told that detention in hotels after #yarlswood will b for 14day âquarantineâ - even those w/ families & addresses told they must go to hotel (we know itâs because it is easier to raid a hotel & pick everyone up at once for a charter flight) (2/9)
One detainee had asylum screening today & only after that was given list of solicitors but told he was not allowed to call them till AFTER his 14 day quarantine period #EndDetention #RefugeesWelcome #StopCharterFlights (3/9)
Coming soon to your childrensâ school playground?

@guardian Mike, itâs called the #HostileEnvironment for a reason. Stop whinging. More babies sleeping on buses is awesome. Cause more people up in arms = more votes. Plus council does the dirty work! Whatâs not to like?!
