How many were wrongfully deported or denied services and benefits? I can't find any numbers, but get the feeling I could count them on my hands? Is that true? does anyone know?

Well the government obviously doesn't know either, although tens of thousands are at risk.

But they helpfully produced a document for deportees: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...r-british-residents-being-deported-to-jamaica

From the uproar (which might be justified) I get the feeling 100s were being targeted. From the half dozen I read about - I really do hope they are compensated substantially.

The problem with the HO I suspect is that workers are not allowed to think - they follow the rules no matter how perverse the situation. Management may have targets to meet in the number they can deport.

It's hard to tell how many were wrongly deported because each case is distinct so the only honest and correct answer is don't know.

But to 'each case' the outcome is often catastrophic!

The government deals in spreadsheets, not human beings!

The government deals in spreadsheets, not human beings!

And targets! Which they publicise only when they have been achieved.

What has happened is appalling.

The home office has acted with impunity.
Its as bad as family courts.

The legal profession make money out of both.
