Immigration raid at Evan Cook Close, Queens Road Peckham. More people here resisting than police and immigration enforcement atm but there’s more police arriving. Come if you can. @Lewisham_AR @Deptford_AR @SLantiraids
More people coming to join every few minutes. Around 40 here at the moment, plus ~8 immigration enforcement and ~7 police officers. Keep coming
Senior police officer briefing other police here:
“The individual in the [immigration enforcement van] has been arrested. It’s clear this van is going nowhere. So either we walk him out, or we de-arrest him.”

Sounds like they’re trying to get more police reinforcements - I can’t imagine they’ll want to give up so easy. Keep coming
I wonder if this guy picked his badge number 
Police talking about walking the detained person out. Road currently blocked. More people needed to cover all the exits so they let him go. They’re desperately calling for reinforcements on the radio
There must be 80+ people here now. The van is encircled. Looks like they’re waiting for more police or for everyone here to leave. Come and join if you can. Evan Cook Close, Queens Road Peckham
“Let him go”
Around 20 police turned up, encircled the van and violently tried to force the crowd back, grabbing, shoving and punching people. The crowd held them back. Now they’re standing looking confused. “What do we do now” one of them said.
Police Inspector just announced that “in the interests of public safety, the decision has been made to release the arrested person on conditional bail.”
💥💥💥

Here’s the police inspector repeating what they’re going to do: release him on conditional bail.
People turned up and made this happen. Let them have no rest

He’s just been released! And he’s back in his house.
Fucking hell. People really turned up. It was touch and go earlier, when there were only a few people. But people came in enough numbers.
They will be back, here and elsewhere. Spread the word, show up and stop them again
