The government has announced new laws aimed at tackling organized immigration crime, including travel bans and social media blackouts for suspected people smugglers.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper emphasized the need for stronger powers, stating, 'Dangerous criminal people smugglers are profiting from undermining our border security and putting lives at risk.'
The proposed changes would allow police and agencies to apply for Serious Crime Prevention Orders directly, aiming for faster responses against organized crime.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticized the measures as 'laughable' and unlikely to deter people smugglers, raising doubts over their effectiveness.
