Revealed: thousands of ‘innocent and abandoned’ migrant care workers told to leave UK

Observer and Bureau of Investigative Journalism find that workers whose sponsoring company had been sanctioned were also being punished

Thousands of migrant care workers have been threatened with deportation, despite doing nothing wrong, after the Home Office took enforcement action against their employers.

In one case, a brother and sister from India who paid a recruitment agency £18,000 to secure care jobs in the UK, only to find they had been scammed, were told they must find another company to sponsor them in 60 days or leave the country.
