This is Part 1 of two episodes on the British Government's immigration policy called the "Hostile Environment Policy" instituted under then Home Secretary Theresa May, who later became prime minister.  The "Hostile Environment Policy" targeted UK's Black immigrant population and forced the deportation of thousands of immigrants from the Caribbean, many from the Windrush generation who had entered the United Kingdom legally and at the invitation of the British Government in 1948 to help rebuild the country after its devastation during World War 2.

In this episode, our guest, British lawyer, lecturer, and author Colin Bobb Semple helps us to understand how Theresa May's racist immigration policy called the Windrush Hostile Environment policy targeted the Black community and led to the deportation of countless people of the Caribbean and African descent from the UK from 2014 onward. We learn what is the Windrush, and the Hostile Environment Policy, what took place in the UK, and why the Windrush forced deportations occurred.
