Deportation: Hijacking freedom or protecting the public?

Deportation: Hijacking freedom or protecting the public?

By Sky News

People are being forced to leave a country they call home, but are the Home Office violating their human rights or protecting UK citizens?

Chartered flights have been sending people to Jamaica that were not born in the UK and are considered ‘dangerous foreign criminals’. But many people are being flown to a country they barely know with little or no legal protection.

In this episode of the Sky News Daily, we hear the story of Tayjay Thompson, a man that has been in and out of detention centres and has an impending deportation order. Host Noel Phillips speaks to Bella Sankey, director of the human rights organisation, Detention Action and David Wood, former Director General of Immigration at the Home Office to get an understanding of both sides of the argument.
