The impact of the new citizenship rules are immense already - we've been speaking to people in our networks about them, see below....

This bill will not fix the asylum system or heal the pain and harms created by hostile laws and racist rhetoric - a glaring missed opportunity….

The government's impact assessment of the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill's new "counter-terror style powers" against small boat gangs rates their impact as "uncertain" "It is not possible to make a well-evidenced assessment of the overall impact", the document says

2025 must be the year our government tackles racial injustice. Read our Chief Executive's op-ed in @bigissue.com on how they can be brave, and make the case for a racially just immigration system based on rights.

Instead of trying to build fortresses we must focus on tackling the drivers of displacement, increase safe routes, and secure people’s right to claim asylum

Successive Governments have taken a racist approach to refugee protection because they treat people differently depending on where they have come from. This is racial injustice.

Every death in the Channel is heartbreaking yet avoidable. Hostile border policies based on securitisation simply push people to take more dangerous routes and will ultimately lead to more people losing their lives. news.sky.com/story/at-lea...

At least 270 people have died in UK awaiting asylum application decisions since 2015, figures show

Migration charities told Sky News that the deaths are of people who have often "fled horrors such as war" and "undergone treacherous journeys to seek sanctuary".

We stand with many others urging the Home Office to keep processing asylum claims by people from Syria. Through our services, we're hearing first-hand how fearful the community is that they may be asked to leave. Many have already waited over six months, unable to work or rebuild their lives.

Text overlaid on an image of people marching with the Syrian flag says: Why the government must restart processing asylum claims from Syria

Text overlaid on an image from Syria says: Many people from Syria are celebrating the end of the authoritarian regime

But many do not feel safe to return. There is no stable government, and much of the infrastructure is still destroyed.

Text overlaid on an image of a map of Syria says: Syrian asylum claims are complex and can relate to more than the atrocities committed by the Assad regime.

Pausing asylum claims will leave many people from Syria at risk of human rights violations and feeling distressed about their future here.

Text overlaid on a photo from Syria says: Home Office data shows that more than 5000 people from Syria are waiting for a decision on their asylum claim.

One in two have been waiting for longer than six months, unable to work or rebuild their lives here.

Many Syrians are rightfully celebrating the end of an authoritarian regime. But our government must remember that there is still no stability there.

📢 The Government has promised to prioritise survivors of gender-based violence. Women seeking safety MUST be included in this promise. Otherwise, they will be treated as less deserving. Stand with us this #16DaysOfActivism and Welcome Every Woman: 👉 refugeewomen.co.uk/welcome-ever...

"These are places of de facto detention" Terrible food, doors which won't lock and chronic damp. Our Chief Executive @timnaorhilton.bsky.social spoke to BBC Radio 4's File on Four about the poor conditions people seeking asylum are housed in, and proposes an alternative way.
