The End Deportations campaign is coming to a close. We are reflecting on the campaign's successes and shortcomings and will share more about why we're ending the campaign, what we've learned, and how we're distributing excess funds soon. (See thread below).
More substantial updates can be found elsewhere and from other groups fighting to end deportations and the violence of borders, many of which have been using the demand #EndDeportations for decades - far longer than this campaign has existed.

When the government says there were stopped by doing something by lawyers, it means they were stopped from doing something potentially unlawful - that's how the rule of law works.

Deportations do not act as a deterrent. People who are crossing the Channel in small boats are so desperate that that seems like the best option for them to secure future safety.

[THREAD] NEW: data from Home Office. FOI requests (as partially reported by guardian) show that in the 2nd half of 2019 83 people were deported across a total of 7 flights to 6 countries using 375 security escorts at an estimated cost of almost £1 million.

4, support the @DetentionAction legal challenge over the lack of phone signal in Heathrow detention centres. People held there are cut off from legal advice and loved ones. The Home Office is doing as little as it can get away with to resolve the issue. xitter.cf/DetentionAction/status…
ACTION: Tweet your MP & ask them to tell the Home Office that people shouldn't be detained and facing deportation without properly working phones/access to solicitors.

it’s been exactly a year since i received this letter acknowledging that our grounds of appeal in #stansted15 case had been lodged. 52 weeks later (having been granted leave to appeal ~6 months ago) we still have no date for a hearing. the criminal justice system is broken.

its a year, almost to the minute, since i was convicted of a terror related offence for #stansted15 action. we shld never have been charged w/terrorism, let alone convicted. if tories get in, thisll become the norm, not an anomaly. we cant let that happen. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
