Labour urged not to concede to anti-migrant hostility as it announces plans to intensify deportation raids over summer
LABOUR struggled to distinguish itself from the Tories today after Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced the latest iteration of racist hostile environment immigration policies — in the Sun newspaper.
Ms Cooper said that 1,000 civil servants have been redeployed from working on the now-abandoned Rwanda scheme to staffing a new returns and enforcement programme to “fast track” deportations.
Ms Cooper said immigration operations will intensify over the summer, and target businesses such as car washes and the beauty sector.
