Someone asked me, and I think they have a point perhaps, whether the attempted deportation of 2 Indian men from Kenmure Street is linked to the new pact with India on migration.
It's possible. Having this deal in place will make undocumented Indians more of a target, but...

Given the feedback loop that exists in immigration enforcement "intelligence" (which is largely based on evidence collected from previous raids, and denunciations from members of the public, which they dont monitor ethnicity data for, nor publish how they control for quality...)
Due to this Indian communities are already one of the most targeted demographics.
However, this new deal may mean they are specifically seeking to pursue Indian people who they have on radar as deportation flights ought to be smoothly facilitated to India because of the deal.

Once again I am asking a certain category of remainers therefore to stop characterising the deal with India as some kind of "free movement but for brown people 😱😱"
Deal with India on migration is largely regressive, as I explain in the quoted thread at the top of this thread.

(Just to add, I dont know, and probably nor do you, what these men's actual immigration situation is, nor do I even know for sure if they are Indian. It's just what's going round in the media. Most importantly, they are New Scots.)
