Hundreds of individuals have been detained in Northern Ireland as part of an operation targeting people smugglers, who charge exorbitant fees for illegal travel packages intended to facilitate crossings into Great Britain.
According to immigration officials, these criminal gangs lure vulnerable people by offering routes labelled as safer than crossing the Channel on small boats, taking advantage of their desperation.
The UK government's Operation Comby represents a significant escalation in efforts against people smuggling, leading to numerous interceptions at major travel hubs and reinforcing border security.
Border Security Minister, Angela Eagle, emphasized that the UK government is committed to combating people smuggling and stressed the dangerous implications of these gangs who exploit individuals seeking a better life.
