Description
Immigration reporting centres are places of fear for asylum seekers,
who have to report to them monthly, weekly or even several times a
week. From reporting centres asylum seekers are often detained without
warning and sent to removal centres to await deportation. Migrant
workers, like the SOAS cleaning staff detained on 12 June, are also
taken to detention via IRCs like Communications House.
Communications House is not just a reporting centre - caseworkers
based inside are issuing the directions to deport people. It is an
integral part of the immigration system.
