We’re at the High Court today representing @safepassageintl.bsky.social in a challenge to the government’s suspension of refugee family reunion. Every day, we see the devastating impact of family separation on the people we support, many of whom have loved ones still in dangerous situations. 🧵

We have been witnessing the fear, sadness & disappointment among the people we support over the last few weeks. The horrific attacks on asylum hotels are a direct outcome of the constant scapegoating of people seeking safety in our politics & the media. This must stop immediately. Our response 👇

This #RefugeeWeek, #OurSuperpower is resilience ✊🧡 The hostile environment that people seeking asylum in the UK experience takes a huge toll on their mental health. But the resilience and strength of our clients, many of whom continue to face tremendous hardship, inspire us every day.

🚨 The Home Office has apologised to our client from Cote D’Ivoire for the errors they made in his case, resulting in him waiting 4+ years for an asylum decision. The limbo took a huge toll on his mental health. This is significant as the Home Office rarely issues such an apology. 👇

🚨 As asylum backlogs remain high, our client, a 52-year-old man from Cote D’Ivoire seeking protection in the UK, will receive an apology & compensation from the Home Office for waiting 4 years and 2 months for a decision on his asylum claim. Here's why this is important🧵1/6
