Protest against the National borders bill
Under the Nationality and Borders Bill being debated in the House of Lords, if the British government wants to remove someone's citizenship it will no longer need to tell them. Home Secretary Priti Patel says the law would be used in "exceptional circumstances" on people who pose the most risk to the UK.
But protests have been taking place against the plans - some fear that ethnic minorities could be treated differently to white Britons for committing the same crime.
Campaign against the borders bill, mums united trustees spoke about the dangers of the bill.
