Tube staff face deportation under new visa rules

Transport for London (TfL) faces staff deportation under new visa rules as more than 60 foreign employees no longer qualify for visa sponsorship due to increased salary thresholds and changes in eligible roles. The Home Office defends the move to restore order to immigration and reinforce the points-based system. London Assembly members criticize the decision as unfair and short-sighted, urging the government to reconsider to prevent disrupting essential services provided by TfL staff.
