The Labour government will articulate a principle that a person who meets the criteria of being a refugee (have a genuine fear of persecution, sufficient to have to leave their home) has a responsibility to contribite to the cost of a democratic society meeting its obligation to hear that claim

Members of the House of Lords just told the Government that the absurd asylum work ban has to go. Now we need to show them the public feels the same.

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’

What we’re witnessing is not just the release of prisoners — it is the return of hostages. In a rare moment of light, this man is finally reunited with his family after being held in CECOT. It is a beautiful, human moment — a testament to love, resilience, and the power of freedom. 1/2

This man was reunited with his family after being released from CECOT in a prisoner exchange.
A few men that where released needed wheelchairs. There are reports that these men where beaten daily.
This man had NO criminal record. Most of them don’t.
