GPS tagging of migrants appears to contradict Home Office guidance

Document published this year does not mention asylum seekers as priority group for intrusive policy'

The Home Office appears to have contradicted its own guidance on GPS tagging, which prioritised very high harm offenders", after it announced the devices would be used on asylum seekers arriving in the UK.

An 86-page guidance document titled Immigration Bail" was published on 31 January 2022. It includes a large section about the GPS tagging of migrants and does not mention asylum seekers who have not committed crimes as a priority group for GPS tagging.
