Home Office and Met Police ‘unlawfully questioning foreign nationals’
SAM TOBIN reports from the Court of Appeal

THE HOME Office and the Met Police are unlawfully questioning foreign nationals in a bid to deport them even when they have not committed any crimes, the Court of Appeal heard today.

The Aire Centre is bringing a case against Operation Nexus, a large-scale initiative launched in London in 2012 to deport “high-harm” foreign nationals, even if they haven’t committed any crime in Britain and minor convictions abroad are long spent.

The charity says more than 3,000 people have been removed from Britain since the operation began and many of those targeted by police and the Home Office are vulnerable.
