I noticed that the Immigration minister faced a few questions regarding detention and said a few times that people are detained prior to removal. So why is it that by their own statistics the Home Office admit that the majority of detainees are released back into the community?
People ARE detained indefinitely not because the Home Office can remove them but because they intend to remove them.
Why deprive people of their liberty when they have no travel documents and ongoing cases which they would be better equipped to fight if they were free from this negative, psychologically oppressive environment.
Surely as the burden of proof is always on the claimant and not the Home Office, it would be a fairer fight. But we don’t get a fair chance when facing the Home Office.
This is not an Immigration Removal Centre, it is a ‘Detain You Indefinitely while TRY to Remove YOU Centre’.
