Human Rights Campaign

UN human rights experts have warned that the Trump administration's deportations of migrants to third countries violate international human rights law. The warning, reported by the Guardian, adds to growing international criticism of US immigration policy, with campaigners and officials raising concerns about the treatment and safety of those sent to countries they have no ties to.

Trade unions and human rights organisations across the European Union are calling on national governments to cut ties with Palantir, the US data analytics firm, arguing it is 'not just another tech company'. The campaign targets public contracts involving the company's surveillance and data-processing services, citing concerns over privacy, civil liberties and the outsourcing of sensitive government work to a foreign military-linked contractor.
