On May 13, 2021, immigration officials raided a property on Kenmure Street, Pollokshields, and detained two men who were set to be deported.
But soon local residents had surrounded the van and blocked it from leaving. As word spread, more and more people joined the protest.
It led to an eight-hour stand off between Glaswegians and Police Scotland, who had been called by immigration officials as people gathered – a battle that the people won.
The protest came to an end when it was announced that the two men would be let go.
