Women and children will be detained under Farage deportation plans
- On Tuesday, Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, announced plans to detain and deport anyone entering the UK illegally by small boats.
- This announcement follows a 2024 record of 108,100 asylum applicants and nearly 28,000 migrants crossing the English Channel so far in 2025.
- Farage described illegal migration as a national emergency threatening public order and proposed repealing human rights laws to enable mass deportations.
- He asserted that Reform UK could remove approximately 600,000 asylum seekers during its initial term in parliament, with these deportations potentially resulting in savings worth tens of billions of pounds.
- The plan includes withdrawing from the human rights framework established by the Council of Europe and overriding certain international agreements, a move critics say could trigger legal disputes and increase societal tensions.
