This Festive Season? / Stay out of cars / stay out of detention

John O | 18.12.2009 11:49 | Migration | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | World

The next fortnight, supposed season of good cheer, it probalyl is if you are a UK national, not if you are a 'foreign national' with out secure status.

1) This Festive Season? / Stay out of cars / stay out of detention

2) Solicitors/NGOs/advocacy groups reduced service for next two weeks!


If your immigration status is insecure!

1) The government have launched its annual don't drink/ don't drive campaign.

From now through to the end of the first week of 2009 there will be extra police checks on cars.

If police stop a car they are more than likely to check the details of all the occupants of the car not just the driver. Police will run the names through their national database; the database contains details of persons that the UK Border Agency (UKBA) has an interest in.

If a name comes up as of being of interest to UKBA, that person may well be detained and taken to the nearest police station. UKBA will be informed that the person has been detained and UKBA will them make a decision as to whether to instruct the police to release the person back into the community or hold the person pending transfer to a Immigration Removal Centre.

2) Warning solicitors and advocacy groups will be very thin on the ground over the festive season; many will shut up shop on Monday 21st December through to Monday 4th January 2010.

If you do have a solicitor, make sure you have their emergency number, also emergency number for your MP.

If you do not have Leave to Remain, make sure that you have copies of all your paper work held by your solicitor/case worker (in particular, your Immigration Factual Summary, Home Office 'Letter of Refusal' also called the 'determination', this is the document refusing asylum) at home and a copy with friends, in case you are detained.

NCADC will as ever be providing emergency cover throughout the period to 'Signpost' friends of persons detained what actions if any can be taken.

Please be clear that if you need to contact NCADC it must be by email with *full details of the person you are trying to help, email:

 urgent@ncadc.org.uk

We will require the following information of any person you are seeking help for,

1) ICD.2599 Immigration Factual Summary

2) a copy of the Home Office 'Letter of Refusal' also called the 'determination', this is the document refusing asylum.

We must insist that these documents are sent to NCADC in PDF format. All modern computers have the facility to scan in documents and convert them into PDF's, we will no longer accept multiple Jpegs/tiffs of documents.
