Monstrous Regiment of Women has been keeping her blog updated with the story of an asylum seeker who has been faced with deportation during the last week.
One wonders about the legitimacy of a process which allows a person to set off from their (home) one morning, to "sign on" as part of their regime as they await the outcome of an asylum application, expecting to return (home) again afterwards .... Only to find that, effectively, they are detained at the police station, without notice, though they are not suspected of any offence. It isn't quite a "disappearance off the street" sort of situation, but it is not very far short of it.
Monstrous Regiment of Women's series of posts is worth reading for what it reveals about the working of immigration law at the level of the ordinary people involved.
