A legal challenge against UK government plans to restrict citizenship for refugees arriving via irregular methods is underway. The challenge is led by an Afghan refugee, who arrived in the UK as a child after fleeing the Taliban, and now fears exclusion based on new regulations. The rules label refugees based on arrival methods, affecting tens of thousands who had hoped for citizenship. Advocates argue this approach continues a troubling trend of punitive immigration policies, undermining the rights and well-being of those deserving of protection and stability in the UK.
The change in the citizenship rules is a source of great anxiety to the man and has made him feel vulnerable in the UK because of the volatility of UK immigration laws.
It is upsetting for so many who had hoped for a new approach to now see this home secretary repeating the same mistakes as her various predecessors.
