Regarding Deportation:

This webpage covers both the topic of deportation and deportation processes under the Hostile Environment. The main section of this page refers to very helpful information on this topic from the Right to Remain organisation, that is completely independent of the Home Office and provides exceptional expertise and guidance on the topics of deportation and asylum.

The very well-structured information on the ‘Right to Remain’ website is the best ‘need to know’ information resource currently online, and is essential reading for those who fear they may be deported illegally. Link: Source: https://righttoremain.org.uk/toolkit/removal/

Please note that until the onset of the Hostile Environment, only those convicted of crimes or strongly suspected of being involved in criminal activity (including terrorism, or attempted terrorism) were deported. This is a further instance of the Hostile Environment being a Whitehall initiated at the highest levels and Whitehall protected at the highest levels ‘criminalising of immigration and genuine applicants, including especially asylum-seekers,’ culture.

The remainder of this page is devoted to analysis of two attempted deportation examples:

Example One:

Firstly, we provide an instance of a forced deportation (date 9^th August 2018):

‘ … they are not immigration officer or anything [I think] to do with immigration but I think they are different department who’s job is to take detainees from detention to plane or escort detainees but I think they work together with immigration or they do what immigration people tell them to do. So those officers were there just to do what they were told to do [by the Home Office / UKVI and particularly the Home Office ‘IE’ Immigration Enforcement section].

They all looked [only] English ethnic-wise, they did Not show me any paper work about the flight [I was being forced against my will on to and had received by these people or at the detention centre from officials NO authorisation paperwork for this action: I assume that Immigration Enforcement don’t anymore need this to do what they do and British government parliament and people are comfortable with this].

They just told me that they were there to remove me from UK via [IE] ‘immigration enforcement.’ Especially 2 escort officers who were meant to be escorting me all the way to Mumbai … they said me do not take anything personally or as offense as they were there just to do what they have been told to do [their paid job], but I think it’s shameful for immigration people or whoever it is to allow it to happen, as I resisted going inside the plane and said I don’t want to go back and I can’t go back.

That’s when those officers started [physically] dragging me holding my legs and hands and dragged me all the way to the last seat at the back.

Then they also handcuffed me, I was already strapped around my hands. there were all these crew members watching it [most of the passengers on this commercial flight were Not British, but mainly Indian and some Nepali: many expressed in facial gestures and spoken comments their shock and horror on what they were seeing].

That’s when I had cuts and bruises on my hands, ear, legs, my whole body was in so much pain. Honestly I can never forget that experience in [all] my life even though I want to forget it, I still feel scared because of that day. ‘

For reference this was an illegal deportation as the victim still had an ongoing appeal, and was in a position that the Home Office knew of, where his life was in real danger if sent back to his country of origin. Please also note the detail above where those attempting the forced, illegal deportation provided no paperwork – this is a typical example of the Hostile Environment in action, acting illegally and using brutal force.

As those doing the bullying were all clearly NOT from ethnic minorities, this projected the UK in an extreme racist light as almost all those witnessing the assault, where Indian or Nepali: a letter was submitted to the former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt on this, and eventually a reply came back, not from the Foreign Secretary, but from a Home Office official

Another example:

Attitude Pride Awards: The gay man fighting deportation to Kenya with the help of his LGBTQ rugby club — Kenneth Macharia has found strength and support from Bristol Bisons RFC.

NOTE: the significance for revealing a compromised Tribunal and the Hostile Environment strategy of making multiagency Hostile Environment communications and actions on cases, labyrinthine and as non-transparent as possible are fully revealed in the details highlighted below regarding the abuses of process Mr Macharia was subject too:

‘There is no shortage of fighting spirit when it comes to Kenneth Macharia. A gay man from Kenya, he has become accustomed to putting on a brave face in his ongoing battle to be allowed to go on living in the UK.

For the past three years, ever since his work visa expired, Kenneth has tirelessly locked horns with the Home Office after being threatened with deportation to his native country, where homosexual acts are punishable by up to 14 years in prison – which can be extended to 21 years if there are “aggravating circumstances”.

That grim fate almost became a reality in November last year when the softly spoken mechanical engineer, who has called Bristol his home since moving there to study in 2009, was whisked away to a detention centre near Heathrow airport following a seemingly routine check-in as an asylum seeker. “There were four immigration officers waiting for me,” Kenneth recalls. “They told me my application for asylum had been turned down and they put me in a cell.

… In June, the Home Office — with social media sites temporarily adorned with rainbow flags — sent a letter to Kenneth telling him to prepare to be deported.

The letter claims that while same-sex activity between men is a crime, the Kenyan law is rarely applied and “the objective evidence does not establish that LGBT persons are likely to be subjected to persecution or serious harm. “

The letter continues: “No evidence has been submitted to show that you [Kenneth] will be singled out and persecuted by the authorities in Kenya as a result of your case being reported in the media.”

Living in “limbo”, Kenneth — and the Bisons — aren’t giving up, and his case has been taken on by a human rights lawyer. Win or lose, Kenneth hopes his experience will draw attention to the plight of other LGBTQ people seeking asylum.

“What is happening to me is happening to many people,” he says. “Over and over again.”’

The significant revelations above indicate that four IE officers verbally (VERBALLY ONLY) inform somebody who is still in the immigration appeal process, that he is being detained and they are there to assist his deportation. He has received NO contact nor formal letter from the Immigration Tribunal regarding this action.

The Home Office is actually showing contempt for not only this Hostile Environment [gay/LGBT – AGAIN] victim, but also for the laws of Kenya where same-sex activity is a crime. We must not forget that the Hostile Environment overseas is implemented via the FCO, meaning the latter has rather arrogant contempt for other countries laws.

However, as indicated above, the example details demonstrate the unquestionable complicity of the Tribunal and Home Office in seeking to make illegal deportations. Other cases of the same kind indicate a pattern, and therefore an not officially state, but very real policy of illegal deportation attempts. It indicates central purposeful direction as multiple agencies are involved from the Tribunal to even police station staff that work very closely with Immigration Enforcement (IE) at on the ground ‘ICE team’ level.
