For years now, children have been placed in immigration detention/adult accommodation because the Home Office decides they look over 18. This problem has been highlighted this week in @CommonsHomeAffs & @IndependentCI reports & will be debated today in @UKHouseofLords 🧵 (1/5)

We're appalled that the Home Secretary has released video footage of people seeking asylum being taken in handcuffs from their accommodation & driven into detention. This grotesque display only adds to the inhumanity of the government's Rwanda plan. We stand against this cruelty.

❌ The @UniofOxford was awarded 'University of Sanctuary' status but still has millions invested in companies profiting from violence against people migrating & seeking refuge. ✊ Students are calling this out! ⬇️ Tell the university to #DivestBorders: bit.ly/3SYPCsP

We've all been asked, "What's the alternative?" But are you interested in the answer? Let's talk! 👇 Saturday 10th February 2-5pm Cohen Quadrangle (Exeter College), Walton Street, Oxford
Alongside STAR, we're hosting a roundtable discussion on alternatives to immigration detention. How can we start daring to imagine something different? How do we start doing generative work of thinking about a different world? Join us in getting the conversation started.

NEW: @OxfordUCU overwhelmingly vote for @UniofOxford to divest from the border industry! 🔥 ❗️Through its investments, the University of Oxford is directly profiting from the border industry and the cruelty it inflicts on migrating people. ✊ This must end now!

Oxfordshire residents and organisations do not support the reopening of Campsfield detention centre. Today we've come to tell the Home Office in person that immigration detention is NOT the answer. @AsylumWelcome @DivestBordersOx @OxfordAmnesty @neuoxon @SocialistEdu
