- escalate the removal of families, including children, whose asylum claims have been refused;

- introduce a new definition of ‘family’ to curb claims from extended families.
In her capacity as the new Chair of the Law Society Immigration Law committee, Zeena commented:
‘These changes seem perverse, unreasonable and punitive on individuals who are genuinely seeking asylum.’
