On Sunday, a significant surge in migrant crossings was recorded, with nearly 600 individuals making the perilous journey across the English Channel in 11 boats. This marked the largest single-day tally for the year. The Border Force intercepted 592 migrants amid calm sea conditions. In response, a spokesperson from the Home Office emphasized the ongoing threat posed by dangerous crossings and highlighted the need to dismantle human trafficking operations that exploit vulnerable people for profit.
"We all want to end dangerous small boat crossings, which threaten lives and undermine our border security."
"The people-smuggling gangs do not care if the vulnerable people they exploit live or die, as long as they pay."
