Hundreds of people have gathered in Parliament Square chanting "stop the bill" as MPs debate the 'cruel' Illegal Migration Bill.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman unveiled draconian plans to end Channel crossings after years of Tory failure which saw an estimated 45,000 people make the perilous journey last year.
Ms Braverman said those who enter the UK via illegal routes will be detained without bail or judicial review before being deported - and blocked from returning.
