This week, the Home Office launched a consultation on its Use of Force Policy - indicating its intent to use force on families and children during enforced removals. Let's be clear: using force on children is utterly unacceptable. Period.

Yesterday, this government stripped refugees of long-term protection. Refugees will now only be offered temporary leave to remain, reviewed every 30 months, until they are granted indefinite leave to remain - which could take up to 20 years under this government’s proposed plan.

Immigration detention is not only costly, it is ineffective and harmful. The majority of people being locked away in detention ended up being released back to the community. There is also no evidence that detention deters people from traveling to the UK. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

The government detained 22,661 people in the year ending Sep 2025; a 17% leap from the year before. But more than half of those people were ultimately released back to the community. Detention does serious harm and costs tens of millions — so why detain them in the first place?

Detention Action @detentionaction.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Since August, we’ve witnessed how this government’s UK–France deal puts people in danger. Their new asylum reforms will only push more people — including the most vulnerable — into detention and expose them to serious risks of harm. Our full statement: detentionaction.org.uk/2025/11/21/o...
