UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has announced a sweeping immigration plan to deport 150,000 illegal migrants annually and repeal key human rights protections.
UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has announced what she described as the “toughest reforms Britain has ever seen” in immigration policy, unveiling plans to deport 150,000 illegal migrants annually.
In a video message on X, Badenoch said the Radical Borders Plan would create a new Removals Force, modelled after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to strengthen border enforcement. “My message is clear: if you’re here illegally, you will be detained and deported,” she declared.
Badenoch accused Labour of overseeing record illegal crossings and wasting billions on asylum accommodations. The plan would ban asylum claims from illegal entrants, repeal the Human Rights Act, and withdraw the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights.
Critics questioned where deported migrants would be sent, to which Badenoch replied, “They will go back to where they came from.” If implemented, the policy would mark one of Britain’s most sweeping immigration overhauls in decades.
