The abuses of human rights set out by this report are not one-off mistakes, but the direct and inevitable consequence of a hostile environment policy in which the assumption of innocent until proven guilty is replaced by the assumption that innocent people are illegal immigrants.
The arbitrary & baseless detention of Windrush citizens is a violation of their human rights. It is now clear that the HO ignored proof of legal status of Windrush citizens & deprived them of their rights without basis or regard for their human dignity.

If @sajidjavid is really committed to human rights why hasn’t he scrapped the hostile environment? We need systemic change not piecemeal apologies. An immigration policy that violates basic rights is an immigration policy that is unfit for purpose.
