Children in immigration centres face deportation within weeks
August 6, 2010
Following leaks to the Socialist Worker the Guardian reports today:
“Children in immigration centres face deportation within weeks…
“Immigration officials charged with carrying out the government’s pledge to end the detention of children in immigration centres have launched a scheme designed to deport them and their families from the country within weeks.
The move dashes expectations of a more liberal alternative to child detention. Families with children facing removal are to be given a two-week ultimatum to leave the country voluntarily, according to a document seen by the Guardian”
