Stop All UK Deportation Activity during this Corona Virus Pandemic

Closed 46 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on Parliament / Government to put an immediate stop to all deportation activity during this Corona Virus Pandemic and to either extend existing visas or grant new ones at least for the duration of this crises.
Right now people are getting letters telling them that their visas have been cancelled and that they have to leave the UK. Asking anyone to travel during a world wide pandemic is a dangerous and risky thing to do - but most especially if those people are in the vulnerable groups. British Government advice has been to encourage people to stay at home - and this should very sensibly be extended to foreign nationals living here whether or not their visas have expired or been recently cancelled.
