Yeah yeah you all care about Brexit but really important injunction late today at the High Court has stopped, potentially, hundreds of immigration removals amid allegations that a key Home Office policy is totally illegal.
The Home Office has a policy which critics say amounts to "no warning" of when someone will be removed from the UK - and campaigners say it's been used in loads of cases where the individual has a total legal right to be here.
One case involved a mentally ill man who was detained and removed in hours - and a judge was so incensed he ordered officials to bring him back (at great public cost)
Anyway, the policy is tonight suspended under an injunction after legal acton by @Medical_Justice. Some 69 removals scheduled for coming days have been halted. Court heard hundreds if not thousands more cases could be affected.
Home Office says policy is lawful and will fight to resume using it at a later full hearing.
Here’s the full story - quite significant this: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-475772…
