*ARN RAID REPORT*
UKBA raided 2 hair & beauty shops on Kingsland Road, Dalston (London).
6 people were reportedly arrested, including at least 3 Asian men. Immigration Officers were accompanied by Police, Trading Standard and Hackney Council.
Black customers told Anti Raids Network that they were made to show officers their ID before leaving the shop, and that plain-clothed police were involved. Activists gave out ‘know your rights’ cards to concerned passers-by and used social media to alert nearby journalists.
