‘Go Home’ vans campaign (‘Operation Vaken’) mounted by - TopicsExpress



          

‘Go Home’ vans campaign (‘Operation Vaken’) mounted by Home Office in 2013 was deeply controversial, and as a result was not rolled out more widely. However, community level checks & harassment of people suspected of having an irregular status continue in other forms. Follow-up operations such as ‘Operation Skybreaker’ & ‘Operation Centurion’ have targeted businesses, registry offices & housing services in local communities in order to increase presence of immigration enforcement. At a time when Government authorities are acknowledging that ‘stop & search’ tactics used in other contexts have demoralised & alienated some communities, it is perverse that racial profiling should be approved in neighbourhoods where migrants are settling.
