Last modified on Sun 21 Feb 2021 19.28 EST Fewer than one in six of more than 44,000 âintelligence-ledâ Home Office immigration enforcement raids on peopleâs homes since the introduction of the âhostile environmentâ policy have resulted in deportations, according to data obtained by the Guardian. According to a freedom of information (FoI) response provided to the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants by the Home Office, between 2015 and 2019 there were 44,225 raids on private homes resulting in just 7,578 people deported. There were also 190 raids carried out on care homes resulting in just 37 care workers removed from the UK. Mary Atkinson, campaigns officer at JCWI, said: âThese figures show just how out of control the hostile environment has become. Carers are being arrested in the middle of their shifts, often as they look after elderly and vulnerable people â it is difficult to see who could possibly benefit from that. Ours is a government relentlessly pursuing an anti-immigration agenda, regardless of the harm it causes â in this case, to some of the very same carers whose hard work and sacrifice has been rightly applauded throughout this pandemic.
