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 behind💔

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.
