- This should not be a police decision. Given evidenced secretive and unethical use of tech by PSNI already, this is amounts to an assault on ECHR rights, an undermining of civil rights in a ‘post-conflict’ region and an abandonment of any notion of ‘police reform’ post Good Friday Agreement. [1/n]

- How low could they go? 'A group of immigration officers accused of stealing from people that arrived in the UK on small boats have appeared in court together. The 6 border officials are charged with money laundering and 5 are further accused of misconduct in public office and conspiracy to steal.'

- When the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood proposed an AI ‘Panopticon’ system of state surveillance – this is it. A statement from End Deportations Belfast rejecting PSNI use of AI powered Facial Recognition Tech.
- This is a police force embroiled in repeated findings of discrimination. This tech compounds discrimination. In the hands of a police force that is unrepresentative of the demographics of wider society, in a ‘post-conflict’ and deeply divided society - AI facial recognition tech must be rejected.

Dignity, community and justice"
- ‘The arrival of an Immigration Enforcement van - sent to detain two residents in the South Side of Glasgow, one of Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhoods- triggered a chain reaction that made headline news across the globe. ‘ www.heraldscotland.com/news/2581334...
- Immigration enforcement related harm on marginalised genders = state sanctioned gender-based violence. When we condemn deplorable US ICE actions, we condemn the same actions carried out by UK Home Office and their contractors. [1/3]
- Remember - the UK Home Office and its contractors, Mitie, were found routinely detaining pregnant women in N. Ireland's immigration detention centre. There have been zero consequences. We FOI'ed UK Home Office and found 8 pregnant women had been detained in Larne House between 2016 and 2022. [1/2]
- We need to hear from you if you witness or experience an immigration raid or ID checking by immigration enforcement and / or police at: 1. Grand Central Station Belfast. 2. At workplaces. 3. On a 'cross-border' bus or train - NB Gardaí if the raid occurs in ROI. 4. At ferry ports. [1/2]

This isn’t “just America.”
- Reposted by End Deportations BelfastHarrowing report from @theindependent.bsky.social exposes excessive force used against vulnerable migrants inside Brook House detention centre. The UK remains the only European country to allow indefinite detention. This is a system wholly unfit for purpose. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
- As Assad fell, UK Gov detained Syrian nationals prepared for removal. UK Gov knew Syria wasn't safe then, and it certainly isn't safe now. The attempt to remove by any means necessary & at speed is because UK Gov knows it is so dangerous, but wants to drive removals statistics before it escalates.
- The Home Secretary is pressing ahead with deportations to Syria despite growing safety fears. People seeking asylum should not be deported to unsafe countries. Far from clearing the asylum backlog, this will trap people in lengthy and costly appeals. www.lbc.co.uk/article/syri...

- Aside from every other horror ICE continue to commit, there are other important points to note on fascism, gender & sexuality made in XtraMagazine. 'ICE violence is gender violence, and it is homophobic violence. We just don’t always see it because the victims aren’t always white suburban moms.'

- Reposted by End Deportations BelfastToday, we went to Crowborough, the grim former military detention camp that the Home Office is now putting asylum seekers in. This is a concentration camp. It is inhumane to put people here. People should be housed in communities, not these camps. Shut them down, now.

- More ongoing attacks on French soil, arguably amounting to terror, has led to France being forced to take additional measures against far-right groups well known to British police. Is the U.K. Gov unserious about tackling far-right extremism or does the lack of U.K. action indicate complicity?
