that's literally government policy! It's all part of the Hostile Environment and 'deport first, appeal later' strategy that gave us the delights of the Windrush scandal https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/theresa-mays-deport-first-appeal-later-immigration-boasts-blamed-for-windrush-scandal_uk_5ad9db37e4b029ebe0234b85
what about the case last month? 8 officers for 1 elderly gent in Maryhill at 7am on a Saturday, who they ended up dumping at a hospital? Clearly not much of a threat of flight or criminal activity
Also bear in mind these dawn raids have recently restarted after a couple of years hiatus, they haven't been a constant practice. How did we manage to do without them for so long if they're so important to controlling all these criminals?
> just because they've not been charged with a crime does not mean they're not involved in criminal activity
a question for you: why on earth would someone seeking to enter the UK in order to carry out criminal activity do so by registering at a known address and in full sight of regular immigration checks? |
