Today, the gates of the Scottish Enforcement Unit of the UK Immigration Service at Brand Street, Glasgow were blockaded again from 5am til after dawn, in a repeat action which apparently caught police and security by surprise, allowing a massive chain to be attached to the gates.

Immigration snatch squads were prevented from leaving the centre to carry out their dawn raids which have been terrorising Glasgow communities.

These blockades are part of an escalating campaign of protest and direct action to resist migration controls and defend our communities.

If you live in the area and want to get involved in ddirect action and practical solidarity with refugees and migrants, there are many ways you can help. Not all of them involve confrontation or chains and padlocks. Some, though not all, involve early starts.
