## Resource

Lewisham council, led by the Greens, is poised to become London’s first sanctuary borough by voting to halt cooperation with the Home Office on immigration raids — a move sparked by an alarming email revealing plans to use environmental health data to target restaurant workers. As the Green party gains ground across London amid public frustration with harsh immigration policies, this motion could ignite a wave of local resistance, creating safe havens where people won’t fear being torn from their homes. The Home Office insists its raids are intelligence-driven and collaborative, but Lewisham’s bold step — backed by a strong Green majority — signals a growing rift between local authorities and Westminster, setting the stage for a nationwide reimagining of immigration enforcement through compassion and community safety.
