"Diners were tucking into their upmarket Indian lunch when the Ice agents slid through the restaurant’s back fence. Armed with stun guns and clad in stab vests, the 11-strong unit blocked off every entrance before moving in on their target: Mandira’s Kitchen. This wasn’t a scene from California or Texas. It happened near Guildford, England, among the rolling Surrey Hills."

‘They singled out non-white, foreign-born workers’: the restaurants raided by Britain’s version of ICE

They’re not armed and they keep a relatively low profile. But the Home Office’s immigration compliance and enforcement officers have searched thousands of business in pursuit of illegal workers. Are they abusing their powers?

@wood5y ICE needs SALT: Sad Assholes; Leave Town.
@catdad Better still, bar the racists and xenophobes from any role in government.
@wood5y I'll drink heavily to that.
