RACIST IMMIGRATION SWEEP AND DEPORTATIONS OUTSIDE OF LONDON TUBE STATION:
NO ONE IS ILLEGAL


Yesterday at 3pm in central London, outside of Victoria tube station
something happened which I have not seen before. Almost 40 police officers
and immigration services officers standing in a massive line, with
sniffing dogs detaining, searching, and stopping people. At first I was
not sure about what I had seen, but as soon as I realized the only people
who were being stopped were people of colour, especially Arabs, and South
Asians it was either about stopping asylum seekers or "terrorists".
