US EditionReform plans ICE-style borders agency for UK under new migration plan
Reform UK plans a new deportation agency with capacity for 24,000 detainees and aims to deport over 600,000 illegal migrants in its first term, citing border control and national security.
- In a speech today, Zia Yusuf, Reform UK Shadow Home Secretary and major donor, will unveil the Illegal Migration Mass Deportation Act after his appointment by Nigel Farage last week.
- Reform frames the measures as necessary to `take back control` and to `stop the invasion`, with party figures saying deportations would ease if Reform UK wins the next general election.
- Practically, the proposals would build a detention capacity for 24,000 and increase deportation flights to five per day using RAF planes.
- Political opponents argued that critics claim Reform UK's plan is `copied and pasted` from the Conservatives, Chris Philp said.
- MPs are expected to press for a debate soon, while Reform will start the week with Zia Yusuf's major speech, making the package a political focus this week.
