Experts have condemned the plans
Reform UK have unveiled plan for “Trump inspired” border force on Monday, as revealed by the party’s new home affairs spokesperson, Zia Yusuf.
The spokesperson said that the party’s proposed UK Deportation Command will not face the same issues as Donald Trump’s controversial Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the US.
Yusuf outlined a number of Reform UK’s plans in a speech in Dover on Monday, and they include the deportation agency with the capacity to detain 24,000 migrants at a time.
It was “very tempting” and “somewhat inevitable” for people to make the comparison between Reform’s model and the US, Yusuf said, while he added that the UK does not have the same problems with firearms and policing is “much more” done by consent.
And these plans have been condemned by experts, as chief executive of workers’ rights charity the Work Rights Centre, Dr Dora-Olivia Vicol, said that these proposals would waste money and would tear apart families and communities.
“This is a sadistic vision of UK families and communities being ripped apart, money being wasted, and the government turning against its own people”, she said as she spoke about mass deportations.
In the United States, ICE saw an immigration crackdown in Minnesota, which resulted in mass detentions, protests and two deaths.
