Asylum Seekers in Portland Could Face Homelessness While They Await a Government Decision

Note: Several interviews in this story were translated from Spanish to English through a translator. In 2023, Diana Albarran fled a dictatorship in Venezuela with her four-year-old daughter. Albarran remembers being kidnapped and “violated many times” on her journey to the States. When she arrived, she says she slept on the street with her young child during winter, but later found temporary shelter with the help of local nonprofit groups. Now, Albarran and her daughter...

People who come to us for #asylum who have escaped awful terror and torture deserve the very best care and support, not this degrading torture the #UKgovt currently subject them to

I am yet again disgusted with the UK inhumane treatment of our fellow people.

“It’s like being bait in a trap. We feel as if we are being hunted by the Home Office, when all we want now is a system that treats us fairly, a swift interview, a stable future and a voice. Please be our voice.”

We were held on Suella Braverman’s Bibby Stockholm barge – and we’re terrified of going back there

We asylum seekers feel part of a cruel game being played by ministers, with little regard for us or public opinion, say two anonymous asylum seekers

I really, really wish I could be proud of the diversity currently in our government but alas they're Tories & so irrespective of their ethnicity they are utterly craven, cruel, callous, corrupt cockwombles. Our last two Home Secretarys are just openly evil & sadistic. They derive obvious pleasure from human suffering. Anyway at least one evil plan has been thwarted by that pesky European Convention on Human Rights.

Just caught the tail end of #CruellaBraverman “defending” the #ImmigrationBill 🤬 and the fog whistle couldn’t be louder. Why should people be constantly demonized and criminalized for seeking asylum and refuge? #Cruella needs to return to law school and brush up on her legal definitions #RefugeesWelcome #AsylumSeekersWelcome #ToriesUnfitToGovern #BravermanOutNow
I was talking with a man this week who currently lives in a hotel with his young family.
He told me that in his home country he was a teacher but also helped at a charity which supported refugees, giving out food, clothes, essentials.
Never in a million years did he think he himself would need to seek asylum.
"There but for the grace of God" goes any one of us.
No one is illegal. To seek asylum is a human right.
