Resumen

This article aims to scrutinize the legislation that dictates the identities and experiences of queer refugees and asylum seekers looking to enter the United Kingdom. It does so through the perspective of the necropolitical process of forced migration, employing the Nationality and Borders Act as a reference. It then highlights the existence of bureaucratic necropolitics within this issue. Using a qualitative methodological approach, this research seeks to shed light on the intricate dynamics of bureaucratic necropolitics, pro-morituri immigration laws, and their implications for queer refugees and asylum seekers. It was revealed that the deliberate deployment of specific language and methodologies within this law can inflict severe harm and endanger the lives of queer refugees.

Key words: Bureaucratic Necropolitics, Refugees, Queer studies

Palabras clave: Bureaucratic necropolitics, Refugees, Asylum, Queer, LGBTQ.
