Border Force brings groups to Dover following overnight Channel crossings

Over 40,000 migrants have crossed the Channel in 2025, prompting UK and Germany to enhance legal measures against people smuggling, officials said.

  • Groups thought to be migrants have been brought into Dover by the Border Force after overnight Channel crossings.
  • So far in 2025, 40,652 migrants have made the dangerous Channel crossing, though this is still fewer than the record 45,755 arrivals in 2022.
  • A new German law aims to give more powers to law enforcement and prosecutors to target people smugglers trying to bring migrants to the UK.
