The Guardian reports that the hostile regime on the UK border is shocking citizens from EU (EU) countries and causing concern to many European families living in the country.
The newspaper reported that the slightest suspicion that someone was entering the UK for work was often enough to keep them locked up, detained in detention centers for a week and then evicted wherever they traveled.
The Home Office, a British immigration office, has ignored complaints from the families of these immigrants living in the United Kingdom.
An example of this is an Italian citizen living and working in the United Kingdom who revealed that his daughter-in-law had come from Italy for a short visit, but ended up in a detention center surrounded by barbed wire.
Giuseppe Piccieri, who has served in the British National Health Service for 15 years, told The Guardian that he waited for hours at Heathrow Airport for his 24-year-old daughter-in-law, but he never showed up.
He was detained overnight before being detained at the Colbrook Detention Center, interrogated and ordered to leave. “We were never approached or told about her whereabouts,” he said.
The case comes 24 hours after a British newspaper reported on cases in which Spanish, French, Bulgarian and Czech nationals were detained at airports overnight and taken to immigration detention centers. The cases also illustrate what appears to be a random approach to the border.
