Episode description
Welcome to the November 2017 edition of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. This month I cover a few bits of immigration news, several cases on detention and then run through some other case law. I end with a mention for some new explainer pieces we put together.
The material is all drawn from the November 2017 blog posts on Free Movement.
