The Home Office has rejected a recommendation by the police watchdog to equip Immigration Enforcement officers with body-worn video cameras in response to the death of a young man during an immigration raid.
Mustafa Dawood, 23, was found on the floor of an industrial unit with fatal head injuries after Immigration Enforcement – a law enforcement command within the Home Office – raided a car wash in Newport, south Wales, in June 2018. An inquest in November 2021 concluded that immigration officers’ actions could have contributed to the death.
