Episode Details

The Supreme Court just slammed the Department of Immigration for unlawfully revoking work permits from two Jamaican men—Travor Howell and Alex McNee—without giving them a fair chance to respond or even explaining why. Despite having official approval letters, paid fees, and physical permit cards, the men were suddenly told their permits were “not approved” and given 21 days to leave. The court rejected the department’s claim that the original approvals were invalid, noting they couldn’t prove it and that the revocation amounted to canceling already granted permits. Testimony from a top immigration official revealed confusing inconsistencies—including letters signed by a former director and no clear explanation for the reversal—while the judge emphasized that public bodies can’t invent new reasons after legal challenges begin. The ruling reinforces the right to due process and holds the government accountable for its actions.
