no borders manchester skip to main skip to sidebar home about us why no borders texts action reports events city of shame email us ukba vans sabotaged in salford monday june 21 2010 after an article was published by the mule newspaper questioning the validity of celebrating manchester day while places such as pennine house and dallas court exist they are now reporting an act of sabotage on ukba snatch squads in salford on manchester night manchester and salford s immigration reporting centre for people seeking asylum was attacked in the early hours of this morning by protestors a group broke into the car park at dallas court where they sabotaged the vehicles used by the uk border agency s notorious snatch squads according to reports the vans were immobilised and defaced with spray paint while the access gate to the car park was also put out of action stickers reading this vehicle has been tampered with were left at the scene to notify staff in a statement the group said the action was taken in solidarity with detainee resistance in the past months media reports have covered the hunger strikes in yarl s wood protests in harmondsworth and struggles against chartered deportation flights these are acts of resistance against an arbitrary system of control and surveillance policed by the uk home office and european immigration authorities dallas court is home to officials from the uk border agency the snatch squads which operate from the centre often head out in blacked out vans early in the morning to detain those asylum seekers whose claims have been rejected they are known for kicking in doors before the children go to school in order to catch the entire family at once asylum seekers are also made to sign in at dallas court at regular intervals not knowing whether or not they will be detained on the spot when arrested detainees are taken to detention centres such as nearby pennine house the holding facility at manchester airport where they wait indefinitely until their cases are resolved after long periods of incarceration despite having committed no crime and having had no trial or sentence most detainees can expect deportation back to the countries from which they fled this is the second time in recent years that dallas court has been targeted by campaigners seeking to obstruct dawn raids and disrupt the centre s day to day activities which today s protestors described as a symbol of the constant uncertainty and fear that asylum seekers and migrants live under they said every person has the right to fight against these conditions irrespective of circumstance and as long as these policies exist people will struggle against them new arbitrary controls such as the immigration cap proposed by the new government will only intensify resistance such resistance will centre on the frontline of border security at sites like dallas court and pennine house read more posted bymanchester no borders at 9 36 am labels action reports may day report sunday may 9 2010 thanks to everyone who helped to make the day a great success this was the first time in years that there was an explicitly anti authoritarian and anti capitalist event on 1 may in manchester so we are glad it went well we only decided three weeks before may day to call for an autonomous bloc on the annual trade union march and a post demonstration get together with the slogan you cannot represent us this was to counterbalance what we anticipated to be the complete dominance of electoral politics on 1 may in manchester anti authoritarians including from no borders and the anarchist federation had a decent presence on the march and in town early in the day distributing lots of literature critical of representational politics due to the low profile of the march in manchester this was no easy task and we confirm our commitment to mobilise for it in the future others had been busy all morning setting up marquees and a soundsystem on birley fields hulme the fields are due for development by manchester metropolitan university and hulme residents have set up a campaign to save them a speaker from the campaign described them on the day as the green lungs for the working people of the area the overwhelmingly positive response from hulme residents to our presence there shows the great value of this land for the area with the rain staying away unexpectedly the site quickly filled up towards the afternoon with over 200 people coming and going throughout the day due to the great work of a manchester free party crew music started bang on time at 3pm with a set by attila the stockbroker and david rovics who kindly passed by on the way to their bradford gig they were followed by a diverse range of performers and bands from reggae via punk to folk until it got dark an open mic speakers corner between the acts saw people from various campaigns talk about government cuts to service and politics away from the ballot box the day ended with some impromptu fireworks and a great team effort to restore birley fields to its original state we are considering a similar event for may day next year so be sure to get involved read more posted

support he gathered enough evidence to try and re enter several months later including a sponsor and a list of people willing to support his stay in the uk however the second attempt proved fruitless
