The Home Office plans to launch new immigration raids targeting illegal workers as part of a heightened enforcement campaign. Labour recognizes the political threat posed by Reform UK, prompting initiatives such as increased deportations—over 16,400 individuals since the last election. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper emphasized the necessity of enforcing immigration rules to deter exploitation and illegal crossings. Meanwhile, Downing Street aims to project strength on migration issues amidst internal criticism from Labour about reverting to a hostile environment for irregular migrants.
"The immigration rules must be respected and enforced. For far too long, employers have been able to take on and exploit illegal migrants..."
"Downing Street is planning to go beyond simply taking the fight to Reform. We don't think it's enough just to look strong on migration, we actually need to be strong."
