Summary
The UK government is implementing stricter measures to combat illegal immigration across the English Channel. New interim Serious Crime Prevention Orders will allow for quicker restrictions on suspected people smugglers, including travel bans and limitations on phone and social media use, even before criminal charges are filed. This move follows a 25% increase in Channel crossings in 2024, reaching a record high. However, the plan faces criticism from civil liberties groups and the Refugee Council, who argue it's overly harsh and makes crossings more dangerous. The Refugee Council advocates for safer, legal migration routes instead.
