NGOs Condemn Home Office's £15m Offer for Deportee Resettlement

The Home Office faces criticism for offering 15 million pounds to NGOs for resettling deported individuals in 11 countries. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's plan seeks over 14,000 deportations by year's end. NGOs argue this policy is harmful and accuse the government of attempting to bribe them into compliance.
The Home Office faces backlash from NGOs after offering £15 million over three years to support the resettlement of deportees from the UK to 11 countries, including Ethiopia, Iraq, and Zimbabwe.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's plan aims to escalate deportations to 2018 levels, targeting over 14,000 removals by year's end.

NGOs argue this agenda will harm communities and undermine migrant rights.

Over 30 NGO officials have signed a letter opposing the contract, stating policies of deterrence are harmful and divisive.

The JCWI and other organizations accuse the government of trying to bribe charities into compliance.

Additionally, the government intends to increase detention capacity in Oxfordshire and Hampshire while ignoring most recommendations from the Brook House scandal inquiry.
