Farage rows back on including women and children in deportation plans

Reform UK plans to increase detention capacity by 24,000 and allocate £2 billion to persuade countries to accept deportees, excluding women and children for now.

  • Nigel Farage and Reform UK announced a mass deportation plan targeting over 650,000 people living illegally in the UK, excluding women and children for now.
  • The plan follows rising concern about immigration and illegal residents, backed by an Early Day Motion urging a national strategy to deport all illegal immigrants.
  • Reform UK aims to detain new arrivals at expanded removal centres and disapply international treaties like the 1951 Refugee Convention to facilitate deportations.
  • Farage described the deportation of unaccompanied minors as a challenging and sensitive matter and indicated that plans do not currently include addressing cases involving women and children.
  • The proposal could reshape UK immigration policy significantly, but critics accuse Reform UK of divisiveness and policy inconsistency amid rising far-right tensions.
