Immigration Minister Liam Byrne today helped break the ground for a new removal centre at Gatwick. The Home Office also published the name of the new Prison: Brook House.
The new detention centre will be the second one at Gatwick airport (the other is Tinsley House)
"The new facilities, which will open in 2008 under the name Brook House, are a key part of the Border and Immigration Agency's (BIA) plans to increase deportations of foreign nationals who are in the UK illegally."
Protestors allready organised a first Demonstration in April (

at Gatwick Airport, which is part of a campaign to stop the new detention centre.
