New measures proposed by the UK government under the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill allow for the electronic tagging of foreign criminals who cannot be deported due to human rights laws. This initiative targets those deemed a public threat. As of September, over 18,000 foreign offenders await deportation, with the government recording a rise in removals since July. The amendment would enable enforcement of tagging even after migrants are granted asylum, aiming to enhance public safety by potentially jailing those who breach tagging rules.
The proposed amendments to the Border Security Bill aim to electronically tag foreign criminals who cannot be deported due to human rights laws, imposing nighttime curfews.
Current laws prevent tagging for those given permission to stay, but the government seeks to change this, allowing tagging as a response to public safety threats.
