MPs are likely to vote on the new Immigration Bill in the coming weeks.
At present it's a missed opportunity to create a fairer, more humane immigration system.
Email your MP, calling on them to back Amendment 6 which will end the #HostileEnvironment

"the lesson govt must learn is that policy premised on creating a hostile environment will result in systemic human rights violations. it shouldn’t have happened to the Windrush generation – and it shouldn’t happen to anyone." me for @IndyVoices @libertyhq independent.co.uk/voices/windrus…

The Home Office has consistently shown a total disregard for the right to family life, particularly for migrants.
The Govt should scrap rip-off immigration fees, improve Home Office decision-making and finally dismantle the #HostileEnvironment theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/a…

Citizenship stripping is one of the most severe punishments a government can exercise. Legal aid is not just appropriate, it's absolutely necessary to ensure Government decisions are properly scrutinised. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-479347…

Predicting crime via historical data is problematic.
Police data doesn't present an accurate picture - it only reflects reported crime & how they respond to different communities. This approach leads to over-policing & undermines relations with the police bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

After Brexit the role of the Human Rights Act will be greater than ever and we will remain vigilant to ensure that the Government upholds its commitment to both the ECHR and the HRA.

The draft #DomesticAbuse Bill risks failing 1000s of migrant women who have nowhere safe to turn.
We're working with @lawrsuk & #StepUpMigrantWomen coalition to make sure all survivors are supported – regardless of their immigration status.

Gov should concentrate on reinstating legal aid and data protection rights, scrapping immigration fees and placing a firewall between vital services and immigration enforcement - not creating a database state in the name of immigration control. libertyhumanrights.org.uk/news/blog/we-n…

The Home Office is developing a massive migrant database making it easier for bodies to deny people essential services by checking their status in real-time.
No lessons have been learned from #Windrush.
The #HostileEnvironment is alive and well.

The UK is the only country in Europe that locks people up with no limit on how long they can be held.
Indefinite detention devastates people’s mental health and destroys lives.
Add your name to 70,000 others and call for a 28-day limit #Time4ATimeLimit liberty.e-activist.com/page/15505/pet…

Browsing the internet, travelling overseas, or debating banned groups are not inherently harmful activities.
This law unnecessarily adds to the raft of existing counter-terror legislation, stifles dissent, and risks making thought crime a reality independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
