Jamaica flight risks repeating injustices of Windrush, Labour warns
A protest against deportations earlier this year

LABOUR has expressed “serious concerns” that a deportation flight to Jamaica this week risks repeating the injustices of the Windrush scandal.

Up to 50 people could face removal on December 2 to Jamaica, including young adults who have lived in Britain since childhood, campaigners claim. 

In a letter sent to Home Secretary Priti Patel yesterday, shadow immigration minister Holly Lynch sought urgent answers over concerns that the flight risks the unlawful deportation of people who have a right to be in Britain.
