The Bishop of Gloucester asked a question on the issue of migrant women disclosing domestic violence to the police being reported to immigration enforcement on 22nd January 2024, during a discussion on the overrepresentation of black, Asian and minority ethnic women in numbers of female domestic homicides:
The Lord Bishop of Gloucester: My Lords, after contacting the police to report domestic violence crimes, migrant women in the UK have often been reported to Immigration Enforcement. For this reason, those women often stay silent for longer. What are the Government doing to ensure that black, Asian and minority-ethnic women who are victims of domestic violence can report abuse without fear of detention or deportation?
Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con, Home Office): The right reverend Prelate will be aware that, if they do, they are not subject to immigration action—a subject that has been talked about a number of times from the Dispatch Box.
