A new network of immigration detention units for women is being quietly planned by the Home Office, contrary to previous pledges to reform the system and reduce the number of vulnerable people held.
When situations change, should previously-stated policies not change to meet the threat, then?
Alphonsine Kabagabo, director of the charity Women for Refugee Women, called the creation of a detention centre in the north-east a “betrayal of previous commitments made by ministers”.
Who made those committments?
The developments undermine attempts by the former immigration minister Caroline Nokes to reform the system.
Well, there's your clue, Alphonsine, 'former' minister. She's out, someone else is in, and they ain't impressed with her kow-towing to immigrant pressure groups like yours.
Philp confirmed plans were being finalised for a new detention centre in County Durham. He said: “The public rightly expects us to maintain a robust immigration system and detention plays a crucial role in this.
“We are committed to making sure people with no entitlement to be in the UK, including people with serious criminal convictions, are removed.”
As you should be.
Words are cheap. I want to see illegals deported, and any protestor trying to disrupt the process charged and given a fair trial before being banged up.
