Support don’t deport rough sleepers, urges URC
The United Reformed Church (URC) has added its voice to a campaign to scrap new immigration rules which mean that someone found to be rough sleeping could be deported.
The rules, which came into effect earlier in the year, give Home Office officials new powers to refuse or cancel a person’s leave to remain in the UK (i.e. their visa), a decision which may lead to removal from the country. These powers can be used if a person has been rough sleeping and has “refused repeated offers of suitable support and engaged in persistent anti-social behaviour.”
