"They won't test you, and they will leave you there. They don't want these officers to find out that there is a virus outbreak here. A lot of people feel like they are ill in here. People are not feeling well. They are coughing and they are scared." #detainedvoices

I'm always happy to share my experience of detention even if it can be a bit distressing at times as it's so Important to raise awareness of this issue in the hope of a more humane immigration process

It seems @ukhomeoffice plan to deport Opelo this evening, despite the fact that she has lived in the UK for 14 years. She has no access to her phone so we cannot contact her. We're told that she may be handed over for an escorted removal but we've not more news at this stage.
