You Will Face Detention And Return: Starmer Issues Warning For Illegal Immigrants

, 5 news, a view

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday issued a stern warning to illegal immigrants, saying that those who enter the country unlawfully will face immediate detention and removal.

“If you come to this country illegally, you will face detention and return. If you come to this country and commit a crime, we will deport you as soon as possible," Starmer said in a post on X.

The decision came after the United Kingdom expanded its “deport now, appeal later" scheme to 23 countries, including India, which would help it in “securing borders" through systematic immigration reform.
