Conservative Party pledges £1.6bn ICE-style 'removals force' to deport 150,000 illegal migrants a year
The £1.6 billion Removals Force aims to increase annual deportations from 34,000 to 150,000 by abolishing asylum claims and repealing key human rights laws, Conservatives say.
- The Conservative Party will create a new Removals Force with a budget of £1.6 billion to deport 150,000 illegal migrants annually as part of efforts to end irregular migration into the UK.
- The Removals Force will have sweeping new powers, including facial recognition, and will cooperate with the police to conduct immigration checks, according to the Conservative plans announced on Sunday.
- Kemi Badenoch stated that the Removals Force proposal is modeled on the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which the Conservatives view as a successful approach for removing illegal immigrants.
- The plan includes strict criteria for refugee status, restricting it only to those threatened by foreign governments, and the abolition of the immigration tribunal, with few rights of appeal.
