Asylum seekers and advocacy groups have expressed concern over the Constitutional Court's ruling that bars rejected applicants from submitting new applications once their case is finalised. The decision overturns a Supreme Court of Appeal judgment that allowed rejected asylum seekers to reapply while remaining in South Africa. Many now worry the ruling could leave genuine refugees with no legal recourse if circumstances change or new evidence emerges. FWe spoke to Claude Marie Bernard Kayitare, Head of Programs and Partnership at the Southern Africa Network for Immigrants and Refugees, SANIR and member of the Coordinating Committee of Kopanang Africa against Xenophobia.

South Africa’s Constitutional Court banned rejected asylum seekers from launching endless reapplications. Backers believe this decision fixes system loopholes, while critics worry for vulnerable people. Drive with Thando speaks to Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber, about resulting legal and humanitarian consequences. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've probably seen the news over the past couple of days: Reform has been floating the idea of concentrating people going through the asylum and immigration system into camps, and then deliberately placing those camps in areas controlled by the Greens, as a form of (what they consider to be) political punishment for Green-voting constituencies.It's abhorrent. It's also almost certainly never going to happen, because the cost would be astronomical. But that's not really the point, and if we stop at “this is outrageous,” we miss what's actually going on.First, it's a distraction. A useful one, too, given that £5 million given to Farage wasn't declared. Second, and this is the part worth paying close attention to, the legislative agenda sitting behind this proposal is openly published on Reform's own website, and it's far more insidious.So let's talk about what that legislation actually does.Reform's proposed laws wouldn't just remove rights from asylum seekers or immigrants. They would remove rights from you, regardless of your nationality or immigration status.The package includes stripping away court oversight of detention, and removing Britain from the ECHR and any international body capable of scrutinising what the government does or protecting individuals from state action. What that means in practice is this: without judicial oversight and without international accountability, a potential Reform government gains the power to detain anyone indefinitely, without charge, and without meaningful legal recourse.When people hear “camps,” they tend to assume the policy is aimed at someone else: people of other colours, religions, or nationalities. That's the political framing Reform relies on, but the legal infrastructure they're proposing doesn't work that way. Rights removed from one group are rights removed from everyone. A state empowered to detain people indefinitely without oversight is a state empowered to detain you.I don't think Farage and most of his party are motivated primarily by racism. I think they want power. I think they find liberal democracy inconvenient, and I think they are perfectly willing to appeal to people who resent minorities in order to build the coalition they need. They hold those voters in contempt - they're a means to an end. The end is fewer constraints on power.If you support dismantling democratic safeguards because you dislike other people having rights, you should understand that those safeguards are also the only thing protecting yours.History has a consistent lesson here. The removal of democratic oversight, the normalisation of indefinite detention, the weakening of independent courts… these things have never, in any country, remained targeted only at the originally intended group. They expand. They always expand.Indefinite detention in camps, with no court oversight and no international accountability, is not a slippery slope argument, it's a description of what's on the table. It deserves to be called what it is, and it deserves to be taken seriously by everyone, whatever their politics. This is a public episode.

The Trump administration came in promising mass deportation. What has followed goes well beyond border control to matters of local policing, detention, federal power, and the limits of the law inside the United States. On this episode of Stanford Legal, co-host Professor Richard Thompson Ford talks with immigration expert Jennifer Chacón, the Bruce Tyson Mitchell Professor of Law, about the Trump administration's immigration enforcement agenda and the profound consequences it is having in cities and communities across the country. They discuss racial profiling, ignored court orders, pressure on states and localities, and the widening reach of immigration enforcement into everyday civic life. Professor Chacón, author of a casebook on immigration law, elaborates on some of the themes in her recently published paper “The Law of the Immigration Raid.” Links: Jennifer Chacón >>> Stanford Law page Legal Phantoms >>> Stanford Law page Immigration Law and Social Justice >>> Stanford Law page Connect: Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast Website Stanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn Page Rich Ford >>>  Twitter/X Pam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School Page Diego Zambrano >>> Stanford Law School Page Stanford Law School >>> Twitter/X Stanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X   (00:00:00) Immigration Enforcement in 2026 (00:03:47) The Economics of a Closed Border (00:09:58) Closing the Border to Asylum (00:10:44) Profiling in Immigration Enforcement (00:16:48) Courts, Defiance, and Detention (00:25:40) Sanctuary, Commandeering, and the Weaponization of Immigration (00:32:26) How States Can Restore the Humane Dimensions of Immigration Law Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What fate awaits the Lionesses who are returning to Iran? Iranian-Australian journalist Shokoofeh Azar is hoping for the best – that the women will be forced into a humiliating public confession - but won’t be imprisoned, tortured or executed. Shookofeh has personal experience of how the Islamic Republic treats women. After several arrests and stints in prison in Iran, Shookofeh came to Australia on a people-smuggling vessel, via Christmas Island - a path many Iranians have taken in their desperation to be free. Now, she works for The Australian. See the video of this interview on our YouTube channel and read some of Shookofeh’s work here: Bombed, afraid, defiant: Iranian voices from the war Sexual torture, Koran beatings: the horrors women face in Iran’s prisons Amid regime repression, Iranians are so angry they can’t feel fear This episode of The Front is presented by Claire Harvey, produced by Kristen Amiet and edited by Lia Tsamoglou.

'There's a feeling in Britain, that British citizens are the back of the queue. There's no surer way of underlining that, than saying "come to Britain on a dinghy and you're the front of the queue!'Martin Daubney on the prioritisation of asylum seekers over Britons.

This week, we're talking with Regent alum and professor of systematic theology, Dr Barnabas Aspray, about his new book On the Significance of Religion in Immigration Policy, co-written with Dr David Elcott. Barney shares insightfully about the connection between religious identity and religious belief with immigration policy, arguing that religion significantly influences nations' responses to immigration in ways that are not often acknowledged. Moreover, religious identification can be both compassionate and exclusionary, as demonstrated in European responses to the 2015 refugee crisis. Barney shares insights from the perspective of being an immigrant in the US himself, encouraging pastors and church leaders to have conversations around immigration in order to prevent polarisation. Barney urges us to maintain conversations across differences and identify Christian aspirations, as well as the harrowing realities of history that demonstrate the ways we have fallen short of those ideals. Barnabas's BioDr. Barnabas Aspray is a theologian and author who serves as Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at St. Mary's Seminary & University in Baltimore. His work bridges philosophy and theology, exploring themes of God, creation, and evil. Before entering academia, he worked as a software engineer in London. Since shifting to theology, he has pursued research in biblical studies, systematic and philosophical theology, and now he writes on topics like faith, refugees, and the ethics of belonging. Today, we'll be talking to Barney about his new book, On the Significance of Religion in Immigration Policy.Previous Podcast AppearancesRefugee, Asylum Seeker, Migrant and the Book of Isaiah (January 2023)Regent Vine ArticleOn the Significance of Religion for Immigration Policy (Nov 17, 2025)Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

A US asylum seeker has been living in Britain for over a year with free accommodation and benefits, despite his claim being refused as ‘clearly unfounded'.Olabode Shoniregun, 27, fled Las Vegas claiming persecution and sexual assault by US law enforcement, yet admits he'd happily return 'to visit'.What makes matters even worse is the string of Home Office blunders that mean he's still in the country despite agreeing to be deported. The case shows the farcical chaos of the British asylum system, where a failed asylum seeker was housed and given benefits by a local council, only to be left stranded after a failed voluntary returns attempt.Camilla and Tim explain the 14-month saga that has caused alarm at the highest levels of government and reveal the full extent of Labour's failings.We want to hear from you!

The British government has set out plans for sweeping changes to its asylum system to address public concerns about uncontrolled immigration. Under the proposals, refugees granted asylum will have to wait twenty years before they can apply for permanent settlement instead of five years. Also in the programme: a planned auction in Germany of artefacts from prisoners of Nazi concentration camps has been cancelled; people in Ecuador have been voting in a referendum on on whether to allow the return of foreign military bases to help combat organised crime; and we speak to writer Jana Bakunina on her new book The Good Russian: In Search of a Nation's Soul.(File photo: A group of migrants on an inflatable dinghy leave the coast of northern France in an attempt to cross the English Channel on July 17, 2025.
