Calls to delay Chinese workers' deportation

From Midday Report, 12:17 pm on 1 April 2021

There are calls to delay the deportation of a group of Chinese workers until a thorough investigation is carried out. Immigration officials detained them last week, saying they were working illegally at construction sites in Auckland. Nine of them remain in Mt Eden prison, and some are due to be deported tonight. A lawyer representing the men Matt Robson tells Max Towle about the difficulties he faced trying to visit them.
