An important update for our community
The UK is strengthening its border security by introducing some of the strictest immigration laws in Europe. Government enforcement has increased significantly, with record numbers of removals and new reforms designed to speed up the process even further.
Nearly 60,000 illegal migrants and foreign criminals have been returned since the election — an increase of 31%.
Enforcement against illegal working is at an all-time high.
In 2025, there were over 9,000 arrests linked to illegal work.
More than 12,750 enforcement visits took place across the UK.
Entering, staying, or working in the UK without legal permission carries serious legal, financial, and personal risks.
Our latest video explains the changes to immigration enforcement, the challenges faced by those without legal status, and where to find trusted information and support.
Watch now to stay informed, and share this with your family and friends to help ensure the message reaches those who may be considering dangerous routes. Every conversation could help prevent the exploitation of vulnerable people by criminal networks — and potentially save a life.
