DOZENS of locals rallied against immigration raids and deportations in south London today in response to the targeting of delivery drivers by police. 

The Metropolitan Police came under fire earlier this month after officers boasted about detaining riders from companies like Deliveroo in Tooting for immigration checks. 

During the force’s 90-minute operation, 48 bikes were stopped and two people arrested for immigration offences.
