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

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".

themigrantslawproject.org/mlp_news/child…
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".

Missed this a few weeks ago - @HumanRightsCtte's report and formal minutes of its inquiry into "Enforcing human rights". Seems to have covered lots of ground, with 21 specific recommendations.

publications.parliament.uk/pa/jt201719/jt…
"Remit of @EHRC should be extended so it can take human rights cases on same basis as it takes equality cases. It should use those powers assertively and be given adequate resources to allow it to do so. Its work should be more closely scrutinised by Parliament": @HumanRightsCtte
"Ill-informed media criticism undermines support for legal system which protects everybody’s rights – even of those who are unpopular. There is need for better education about legal system, and how it protects human rights; Govt should do more to support this": @HumanRightsCtte

This story about melatonin use in children is in the Guardian today

A few key points:

@EvelinaLondon @maxdavie @RCPCHtweets

theguardian.com/society/2018/n…
As we better understand the importance of good quality sleep in childhood to short and long term health and development outcomes, more attention is being paid to sleep problems in children

Assessing, and deciding if/when intervention is needed, is therefore happening more often
Most childhood sleep issues can be managed without needing to use medications.

Medication for most sleep problems, as in adults, is only appropriate after thorough assessment and where non-medication options have been unsuccessful

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.

1/5
 This young man is Muhammad Sharif Badwan. He was killed East of #Gaza City at the Karni crossing after being shot in the chest by #IDF gunfire on Friday afternoon. #Israel
2/5
 Many news sites refer to Badwan as either a protestor or a demonstrator who was shot and killed by the #IDF. The photo on the left, from the DailyMail, states Badwan is a protestor. The photo on the right from CGTN states Badwan is a protestor as well.
3/5
 The problem is Badwan wasn’t there to protest in the way most people think. This video was taken Friday afternoon at the Karni crossing where Palestinians were clashing w/ #IDF soldiers. At the end, you can see Badwan being evacuated after getting shot by the #IDF.

A few other thoughts on the EO Trump just signed:

- Trump is doubling down on the zero tolerance policy of prosecuting asylum seekers.
- Rather than end separation, the EO will mean kids as young as infants are incarcerated, in jail-like facilities.

#immigration
- Incarcerating children is inhumane. The @AmerAcadPeds says that DHS "facilities do not meet the basic standards for the care of children in residential settings."

pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/…
- Aside from being inhumane, family incarceration is insanely costly. ~$320 per person, per day. Alternatives to detention cost a fraction of that.

The Family Case Management Program cost only $36 p/d, per family.
