The British Home Secretary Amber Rudd has resigned from her post.
Her resignation follows the recent controversy over the way the British government has treated some long-term Caribbean immigrants who have been wrongly labelled as illegal immigrants.
Known as the Windrush scandal, Ms Rudd has faced criticism when she appeared before a Commons committee last week saying her department did not set targets for the deportation of illegal immigrants.
Documentation from the Home Office showed this was not accurate leading to accusations that the Home Secretary had either misled MP's or was not across the work of her department.
A spokesperson for the British Prime Minister has confirmed that Theresa May accepted the resignation of the Home Secretary this evening.
