Migrants unlawful imprisoned ,according to an official email

• Hundreds of refugees were being held in immigration removal facilities against their will.
• About 450 people were housed in the holding facilities.
• Around 4,000 individuals were discovered to be housed in tents at Manston.

According to Home Office emails, hundreds of refugees were being held in immigration removal facilities against their will.

About 450 people were housed in the holding facilities, which one email referred to as “overflow” from the Manston migrant processing facility.

The email continued, “We need to transport them to hotels ASAP.” It stated that their imprisonment was “no longer legitimate.”

The Home Office claimed that the asylum system was under “great pressure” as a result of an unprecedented number of small boat entries.

According to the statement, “tireless work” had been done to get them into hotels or other forms of lodging as soon as possible.

The email was issued on November 4, the day following Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s visit to Manston in response to calls for her to control the site’s overpopulation.

The Home Office permanent secretaries, the department’s most senior civil employees, were informed of the issues at the time, according to a series of emails that were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

The emails “show the Home Office knew they were breaking the law and lay clear how their chaotic inability to plan led to this scenario,” according to shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper.

The Home Office “has lost control of the system under [Ms. Braverman’s] guidance and has potentially exposed the public to significant litigation fees.”

Around 4,000 individuals were discovered to be housed in tents at Manston in October, causing overcrowding and sickness.

According to Home Office communications, between 450 and 500 asylum applicants had been sent to immigration detention facilities as “Manston ‘overflow'” by the beginning of November.

According to one email, “Their custody is no longer legitimate as they can only be imprisoned while their identification is locked down and then for a maximum of 5 days.”

“More than some Manston cases, the majority had been there for a number of weeks. They need to go to hotels right away…”

Manston was built with the intention of swiftly processing and releasing immigrants who arrive in the UK in tiny boats.

The amount of persons being held for extended periods of time in “cramped and uncomfortable conditions, frequently supervised by employees who have not been adequately trained,” has aroused concerns from inspectors.

On Wednesday, a House of Lords committee will examine the home secretary about the backlog of unprocessed asylum claims and the housing situation for asylum seekers.

One detainee who spent 24 days in Manston claimed an officer struck him following what they saw to be a peaceful demonstration. Police in Kent are looking into the claims.

According to images received from the facility, the man has a bloodied face and a swollen nose.

He claimed that on October 27, when the protest was put down by Home Office employees, an official had him by the neck and that he had to use “every strength I had to dislodge his arm from choking me.”

“He pushed me when I released his hands, causing me to fall backward onto someone else. The same cop grabbed my head while I lay on the ground, bashed my head in with his knee, and shattered my nose. I went into a state of unconsciousness after this.”

The source met with five other detainees who confirmed the man’s statements and claimed to have seen the alleged assault.

The allegations, according to the Home Office, don’t line up with how things actually happened.

It said, “It would be improper for us to speak further as there is an ongoing inquiry to determine what occurred on this occasion.”
