Lucy speaks to Joel from Haringey Anti-Raids about the development of the Anti-Raids Network and their activities in Haringey. How can immigration raids be resisted and what rights do those being targeted have? They also discuss plans to protest removal of asylum seekers from a Haringey hotel to the notorious Napier Barracks. The protest took place on the same day as Lucy’s interview with Joel.
