BREAKING: The Government has rejected calls for a limit on how long people can be detained in immigration removal centres. Joint Parliamentary committee on human rights had suggested a 28-day limit unless there are "exceptional circumstances"....
The committee said the proposal had wide cross-party support. But Home Office said a time limit would "severely constrain the ability to maintain balanced and effective immigration control".
The Home Office response was given by @carolinenokes who was Immigration Minister until last week. I'm not sure her replacement has been appointed yet... a surprise given it's such a key role.

In what could be his last @CommonsHomeAffs session as Home Secretary, @sajidjavid bats away @YvetteCooperMP's attempts to get him to admit police officer cuts have led to increased crime, though he accepts more officers are needed to "keep up" with new & rising crimes
@CommonsHomeAffs @sajidjavid @YvetteCooperMP Home Secretary @sajidjavid says it would take 3 years to recruit an extra 20,000 police officers as he, as Tory leadership contender, and @BorisJohnson have called for. Home Office has been doing work on the numbers, though it's not official Govt policy. Yet.
@CommonsHomeAffs @sajidjavid @YvetteCooperMP @BorisJohnson Onto immigration: re 34,000 foreign students accused of cheating English language tests, @sajidjavid says it's "reasonable" to assume that some, a "very small number", were wrongly singled out. He's looking at ways to help them appeal. "It's our duty," he tells @CommonsHomeAffs

#BREAKING: We, @NYCLU, & @MungerTolles are suing to stop the Trump administration's anticipated mass deportation of refugee families and children. Due to egregious bureaucratic errors, they never had their day in court—a violation of due process rights. aclusocal.org/en/press-relea…
The govt's errors made it impossible for people to know about their immigration hearing dates. Notices were sent:

- to incorrect addresses
- after hearings had already passed
- issued for dates when courts were not in session
- FOR DATES THAT DO NOT EXIST such as Sept. 31
On January 31, 2019 alone, thousands of refugees lined up for hours at courts across the country with paperwork showing that date for their hearings, only to be told there would be no hearings that day. Many of them were ordered deported for failing to appear.

How can we as #Americans accept that our government is responsible for the #genocide of #Yemeni civilians? How can we as a society not demand by every means necessary for the world's greatest #Humanitarian #Crisis to end?

#Yemen before #War
#Yemen a beautiful country full of beautiful #Yemeni who simply want to be left in peace. A country that's only fault is it's location in the world. A location that for the #US is strategically located close to #SaudiArabia, #Iran, and #Israel.
The #UnitedStates #Indoctrination and #Propaganda machine #FakeNews would have the American people believe we are helping to ensure peace and stability in the region. This is a claim that by now ALL AMERICANS should know is false!

We've just released the final report by @Alston_UNSR, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme #poverty, on his visit to the #UK. The report is available here: undocs.org/A/HRC/41/39/Ad…. A few key takeaways:
Some have asked me why a UN expert on #poverty would visit the #UK. Unfortunately, although the UK is the world’s 5th largest economy, 14 million are in poverty, child poverty is rising & predicted to reach 40% by 2021, homelessness is up 60%, and food bank use has skyrocketed.
To understand #poverty in the #UK, you have to look at the massive disinvestment in social support since 2010: the end of a centralized social fund, changes to the ways benefits are capped & calculated that substantially reduce their value, the decimation of civil legal aid, etc.
