The Home Office is separating scores of children from their parents as part of its immigration detention regime – in some cases forcing them into care in breach of government policy.

This is one such shameful, inhumane, despicable case, as mentioned in @maybulman's report today. Shame on @Theresa_May and her minions. How can this treatment of children possibly be justified or acceptable?
Home Office admits it unlawfully detained a man, separating him from his 3-yr-old daughter, who almost ended up having to be adopted. £50,000 damages.
Great work by @BhattMurphy, @gardencourtlaw's Stephanie Harrison QC & @shushinluh! And @BIDdetention.

3-yr-old almost ended up adopted! She was going to lose loving parent & home, just because Home Office unlawfully detained father.
Shameful, inhumane, despicable behaviour.
@ChildrensComm needs to look into this. This unnecessary govt-inflicted suffering of children must stop.

In this day and age, in 21st Century Britain, how is this even possible? How can the govt be so evil as to take someone's child and just have them adopted?
More importantly, how can we be so blind and heartless to know these things are happening yet allow them. We are complicit.

Immigration minister admits that, despite government claims to have ended the immigration detention of children, the practice is still continuing and dozens of children are detained every year.
