Under the government's Housing White Paper, announced in early February, nationals from the European Economic Area (EEA) who are homeless in the UK are being removed as they're seen as "abusing" their right to freedom of movement.

Previously, the Home Office could deport EU citizens for "antisocial behavior" or for prolonged periods of "economic inactivity."

EU migrants are allowed to stay in the country for an initial 90-day period, after which their stay becomes permanent if they comply with rights granted under the Maastricht Treaty and are not a financial burden on the state.

However, new immigration reforms mean migrants can now be deported even if their 90-day term has not expired, which could be in breach of the same EU treaty on which the policy was implemented.

According to figures seen by North East London Migrant Action (NELMA), up to 95 people have been removed in London in the past year, though figures could be higher as some boroughs did not gather the necessary information.

The group also claims that patrols confiscate EU migrants' identity documents, stripping them of their rights under freedom of movement to seek employment and accommodation.

The document, dated January 2017, sets out potential risks homosexual people face in their countries of origin, and what laws they could be prosecuted under.

It suggests lesbians and gay men "with what may be seen as feminine traits" would be at risk if forced to return, but adds the Afghan government has not prosecuted for homosexuality recently.

It says a gay person facing deportation would likely find refuge in Kabul, which does not face the threat of the Taliban.

"While space for being openly gay is limited, subject to individual factors, a practising gay man who, on return to Kabul, would not attract or seek to cause public outrage, would not face a real risk of persecution," the document says.

"In the absence of other risk factors, it may be a safe and viable option for a gay man to relocate to Kabul, though individual factors will have to be taken into account."

The new Home Office advice puts it at odds with the United Nations on refugees, which says LGBT people should not try to change or conceal their identity to avoid persecution.

The new guidance has been denounced by human rights groups as a violation of international law, and criticized by the Home Office's own Afghanistan unit.

It also says the lack of prosecutions for homosexuality since the Taliban was ousted from power in 2001 does not reflect an increased openness to greater respect for the rule of law.

"There is very little space in Afghan society... to be an individual that openly identifies as LGBT. Social attitudes and the legal position of homosexuality means that the only option for a homosexual individual, in all but the very rarest of cases, would be to conceal their sexual orientation to avoid punishment."
