WE WON!!! Home Office’s work policy for asylum seekers has today been found to be unlawful by the High Court on the ground that it fails to properly reflect the duty under s55 BCIA 2009 to safeguard & promote best interests of children. The link to the judgment is set out below:

Ministers are being urged to temporarily relax immigration rules with supply chain disruption set to get worse in the next few weeks

But government isn't budging: "We want to build a resilient domestic workforce and not rely on immigration to do this"

@lauradarnley Your plan to have it on a Friday was a good call, hope you feel better soon!

Thousands could be stripped of rights amid ‘frantic’ last-minute efforts to apply for EU settlement

Govt accused of ‘risking terrible injustice’ by refusing to lift today's deadline as swathes of EU nationals struggle to get help with complex applications

The hostile environment was supposedly not intended to make the lives of the Windrush generation miserable, but it did

We are very likely to see something similar with EU citizens after the deadline of 30th June 2021 (@ColinYeo1) https://t.co/by9ZNC5ZRP

[Arshia Hashmi @Immigration_Sol]

Highly important thread by @ColinYeo1 on what's to come for EU citizens

[May Bulman @maybulman]

Home Office receiving 10/12k EU settlement applications a day - double last month's daily average - with 1 week to go before deadline

Surge suggests many still won't have applied by 30 June, fueling concerns people will fall victim to hostile environment https://t.co/yb2GfLchTD

[Nath Gbikpi 🧡 @NathGbikpi]

Can I just point out that the only reason we're having this last minute Zambrano EUSS madness is because the Home Office absolutely hates the idea of, god forbid, making life marginally easier for the *primary carers of British citizens* who have the audacity of being migrants

[Arshia Hashmi @Immigration_Sol]

So proud to be a part of this fantastic team, always going above and beyond! @MLAwards #brabnersLLP

Excl: Tens of thousands of EU babies and children could be left in limbo due to ‘rigid’ settlement scheme rules

Warnings of ‘disaster waiting to happen’ as 80k+ children still waiting for EUSS decision while many feared yet to apply 2 wks before deadline

With the move from Step 3 to Step 4 of the #Covid_19 Roadmap paused, will the reintroduction of face-to-face and physical document right to work checks also be delayed @ukhomeoffice? @RECmembers do you have any information? #immigration

[Alena Ivanova @alenaivanova.bsky.social @AlenaPIvanova]

🥳GOOD NEWS on EUSS and Covid-related absences! The Home Office have caved in on numerous demands we've made and they've revised the guidance to allow for any Covid-related absence of up to 12 months to not break continuous residency and some other good things.

[Brabners @BrabnersLLP]

Don’t lose your right to reside, work, rent, healthcare and benefits.

There’s still time to secure your rights under the EU Settlement Scheme if you are an EU, EEA or Swiss national or their family member.

[Dr Alex Bulat @LabourAlexB]

Why EU citizens need physical proof of their status 101.

Imagine you're trying to rent a place, prove your rights for a job or open a bank account when this happens.
