THE HOME Office faces a legal challenge over its practice of keeping asylum-seekers in “segregation” at prison-like facilities.
Lawyers for refugee charity Care4Calais have sent a pre-action protocol letter to Home Secretary Suella Braverman.
They accuse her of failing to fulfil her legal obligations under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 by detaining asylum-seekers at sites such as the former RAF base at Wethersfield, Essex.
