Inquest witnesses face deportation

DOZENS of people are set to be deported to Jamaica by the Home Office this week in the department’s first charter flight to the Caribbean since the Windrush scandal erupted.

The deportees even include two men who are due to give evidence to an inquest next month about the death of an immigration detainee.

The flight is due to depart on Wednesday, coinciding with the sentencing of the Stansted 15 anti-deportation activists.
