Information Notice

The Migrants’ Rights Network is a UK charity that stands in solidarity with all migrants in their fights for rights and justice. We have been researching the impact of immigration raids on migrant and migratised communities, alongside other forms of state violence. You can find our report here: https://migrantsrights.org.uk/projects/hostile-office/immigration-raids-an-anatomy-of-racist-intimidation/

From our initial research on immigration raids, we have identified themes in who is targeted and where. We want to gather up-to-date information on this, as the nature of raids operations means different kinds of location and different groups are targeted.

With this survey, we are asking people to share information so that the Migrants’ Rights Network (MRN) can campaign on the issues that matter to those affected through our immigration raids campaign. We welcome responses from anyone who has been the target of a raid, as well as anyone who has witnessed a raid or supported people during or after a raid.

This form is for reporting immigration raids in the UK. You can view the map here. Please note that any raids you report may not immediately show on the map, as we moderate submissions for any personal or sensitive information.

If you are targeted by or witness a raid, you can find information on what to do here: https://antiraids.net/what-to-do-if-you-see-a-raid/

Any information reported here is anonymous and we will remove any identifying information when reporting results.
