Since 1999, Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) have supported over 46,000 people to get out of immigration detention and have borne witness to many gross abuses of state power.

In the UK, the Home Office have the power to lock people up indefinitely, without trial for the purpose of immigration control. However, as evidenced by the Windrush Scandal, they have a history of terrible decision making with horrific consequences.

The current Labour Government is not only carrying on the miserable tradition of treating immigrants with hostility, it is boasting about it.

In my 3rd half marathon for BID I am hoping to raise over £1000 to help them provide free legal advice and representation to people in detention in the UK.
