Title
‘Stay Put’ campaign leaflet and badge
Description
Hostile environment measures removed access to legal aid for immigration purposes in 2013. They also limited access to employment, housing and healthcare, bank accounts and driving licences. Some undocumented British Caribbean settlers fell foul of immigration officers. They were threatened with detention and/or detained and some were deported. Others lost jobs and homes and were denied access to welfare or medical treatment for serious illness. Activist-lawyers Leigh Day called for victims of this unfolding scandal to stay put.
