Robert Jenrick is reported to have considered the cartoon images in the Dover centre too welcoming.
Labour's shadow immigration minister Stephen Kinnock condemned Mr Jenrick's order, saying the idea that removing the murals would "somehow stop the boats is utterly absurd".
He said it was a sign of a "chaotic government in crisis, whose failing approach means all they have left is tough talk and cruel and callous policies". Labour had a plan to "end the dangerous crossings, defeat the criminal smuggler gangs, and end hotel use by clearing the asylum backlog," he added. The i newspaper, which was first to report the story, quoted sources as saying staff at the centre were "horrified" by Mr Jenrick's order and resisted carrying out the work.after visits to KIU, and the nearby processing centres at Manston and Western Jet Foil, found there had been improvements in facilities since previous inspections.
But continuing problems, including medical isolation practices at KIU. The report concluded: "Inspectors found no examples of notable positive practice during this inspection" at KIU.
