Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has announced the party"s plan to detain and deport all individuals who illegally cross the English Channel. Speaking earlier this week, Farage emphasized that the policy would apply to "men and women, children we"ll have to think about," indicating a broad scope for enforcement.
Farage"s comments come as part of a larger immigration agenda that he claims prioritizes the rights of British citizens. He further stated that, if elected, his government would also deport Afghan women back to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, a move that has sparked significant criticism from human rights advocates and opposition parties.
The push for strict immigration policies is not new for Farage, who has long been a vocal critic of current immigration practices. His recent remarks align with ongoing discussions surrounding the rising number of migrants attempting to cross the Channel, which has become a contentious issue in British politics.
As the political landscape shifts, Farage"s proposals could have far-reaching implications for immigration law in the UK. With a general election on the horizon, the debate around these policies is likely to intensify. For more on his plans, see our recent developments regarding Farage"s immigration strategy.
