Migrant crisis: Ten freebies given to asylum seekers awaiting deportation

Illegal migrants awaiting deportation from the UK are receiving free arts and crafts classes, gym sessions and English lessons.

The perks must be offered under the terms of a £260million contract to run removal centres at Gatwick Airport.

Hundreds held at two airport immigration removal centres can also use board games, puzzles and library books.

Other perks include a “welfare buddy” to support them emotionally, free IT sessions and a £5 a week spending allowance.

Those being held at the removal centres in Gatwick are also allowed to request specific items from the on-site shops and enjoy fresh ingredients to cook with in designated kitchens.

Detainees have the option to work too, earning a £1 an hour for cleaning, dishing up food and looking after the gym.

The terms are part of an eight-year contract for public service provider Serco.

The art classes are free to attend, and are believed to teach illegal immigrants sketching and craft skills.

The sessions take place in “comfortable and pleasant” craft rooms, according to official reports, with one of the centres having a quiet space for puzzles and board games.

Hot beverages are also available for the illegal immigrants at all times.

Centre bosses are required to run diversity and equality meetings and appoint a diversity and equality advisor to produce reports.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp described the moves as “madness”.

He said: “Illegal immigrants should be on the first plane out, not getting art classes.

“Taxpayers’ money is being wasted on this nonsense.

“The Conservatives plan to come out of the European Convention on Human Rights to enable the urgent deportation of 150,000 illegal immigrants and foreign criminals each year.

“The Government must stop messing around with woke nonsense and concentrate on deporting those with no right to be here.”

Media campaign manager with the Taxpayers’ Alliance, William Yarwood, said: “Taxpayers will be shocked to learn that illegal migrants are enjoying art classes, IT lessons, and even paid work at their expense.

“Instead of prioritising border control and removals, taxpayers’ money is funding luxuries for those who shouldn’t be in the country in the first place.

“This money should be redirected to securing the border and enforcing removals.”

Illegal migrants stay in one of the centres on average for 47 days, in one of the 450 beds on offer for the adult males.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
