A man has died after falling from a building in Wales while being chased by immigration officers during an immigration raid.

No words.

What an appalling, disgusting, inhuman place we are becoming under this government.

independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
If this is @sajidjavid's new humane @ukhomeoffice, how was Home Office treating people before? Pushing them off buildings themselves?

Or is it just talk and no action as usual?

Regardless of improvement or not, despicable, tragic, terrible incident. Completely avoidable death.
Emergency protest outside the Home Office tomorrow at 5:30pm, demanding justice for the young Sudanese man who died when he was chased off a roof by immigration officers in Wales.

The family of a 23-year-old Sudanese asylum seeker who died during a Home Office immigration raid are calling for a postmortem into his death to discover the truth about what happened.

Court of Appeal rules @ukhomeoffice acted "unlawfully and unfairly" when deciding claims by child refugees in Calais. Court also held the Govt misled the High Court by a "serious breach of the duty of candour and co-operation by the Secretary of State".

Great work by @safepassageuk, @CitizensUK, @IslingtonLawCen's @MigrantsLawProj and @DoughtyStPublic's @michelleknorr & Charlotte Kilroy!

Shameful behaviour by the Government - firstly, mistreating refugee minors & then misleading the High Court about how it had behaved and why.
So @ukhomeoffice admitted it refused to give the refugee children reasons why their claims were refused just so they could not take legal action against the Home Office.

As the court says, that is exactly why reasons must be given - so legal action can be taken, where needed!

In today's @DailyMailUK. @IpsoNews rules that the front page article with the headline "Another Human Rights Fiasco" had "serious and significant" errors. It was inaccurate and breached the Editor's Code. Mail forced to publish this ruling, with a reference on today's front page.
"The breach was serious and led to publication of seriously misleading information on an important subject. The misleading information was in a prominent position both in the article and in newspaper as a whole, and it substantially changed the meaning of the article": @IpsoNews
So @DailyMailUK's front page included the claim that he was an insurgent caught with a bomb. But didn't then say that a judge found that this allegation was "pure fiction". @IpsoNews found "the repetition of these serious allegations ... seriously misrepresented the judgment".

Just got round to reading Shaw II on immigration detention now. Some tweets later.

"Assessment of government progress in implementing the report on welfare in [immigration] detention of vulnerable persons - a follow-up report by Stephen Shaw" is online at gov.uk/government/pub…
"My point is that, at present, the case for a time limit [for immigration detention] has been articulated more as a slogan than as a fully developed policy proposal": Stephen Shaw.

I have a feeling many migrant/detainee rights campaigners would disagree with this...
"Nevertheless, the number of people held for over six months has actually increased. The time that many people spend in immigration detention remains deeply troubling": Stephen Shaw

Many people think that “illegal immigrants” are the scourge of this country, and are a very hot topic in the political world. Let’s dispel any myths and misunderstandings on this subject once and for all.
#Immigration #ImmigrationReform
Read, RT, LEARN! 😁🧠
The first item I’d like to point out, is that a better term we should use would be undocumented immigrant. “Illegal alien” creates and perpetuates the stigma that these people are inherently bad, or criminal. The reality is that they are just seeking a better life.
Probably the biggest misunderstanding is that everyone should simply just immigrate legally, when in reality there’s nothing simple about it. There are very specific and restrictive criteria one must meet in order to immigrate to the U.S. legally.

Being fat is the act of squeezing yourself into a corner and hugging your arm to your side to take up less space.
Being fat is looking at the accessories while your friends shop for clothes.
Being fat is crying in the dressing room after shopping all day for a prom dress, the tears relieved because a zipper finally closed and regretful for the teenage beauty you will never get to have.

Thread: WHILE YOU WERE NOT LOOKING #Immigration
What the Trump admin did to immigration while everyone was busy with #StormyDaniels and the $hitshow that is this presidency:
👏 @AmericasVoice
1-ICE ended policy of presuming release for pregnant detainees;
ICE detention centers (and the for profit ones) are ill-equipped to treat medical issues pregnant women face.
Ice stating fear of flight. We tax payers pay for ankle monitors-Cheaper
This is the previous policy
2- Considering a policy to deny legal residency-deport legal immigrants who rely on Earned Income tax credit &health insurance subsidies (Tax paying immigrants) not to mention undocumented immigrants leave $10 billion in taxes they never file to collect. apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/wo…

Here are some real ideas to fix the #immigration system.

1. Get rid of the 3 and 10 year bars and replace with a fine.
2. Put more asylum officers near the border.
3. Create a market-based cap for employment-based immigration.
4. Create an entrepreneurial startup visa.
5. Create a path to a green card for E-2 investors. Include any children brought here before age 21.
6. Let's really make a 10 year law: provisional green cards.
7. Direct DHS to allow people to take the steps to correct their immigration status.
8. Penalties besides deportation.
9. Put money and resources into fraud detection.
10. Expand guest worker programs to allow people to go back and forth.
11. Invest in antigang resources.
12. Centralized U visa databases.
13. Tax incentives for microbusiness in high unemployment areas.
14. State biz incubators.
