Reform vows thousands of deportation agents

A future Reform Government led by Nigel Farage would recruit thousands of agents for a new deportation force, according to the Daily Express. Party home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf unveiled the sweeping proposals during an Express event at the party’s conference in Birmingham.

Speaking to attendees, Mr Yusuf stated that stopping small boat Channel crossings is only part of the solution required to fix Britain’s borders. He pledged that a Reform administration would establish a dedicated agency called the Deportation Command to remove every individual living in the country unlawfully.

According to the Daily Express, Mr Yusuf argued that existing Home Office staff are not fit for purpose because they allegedly act as activists supporting immigration. He confirmed that the new command would be heavily staffed with thousands of active agents to execute nationwide removals.

We will have a new agency. We will have the Deportation Command. We will staff that and have thousands of agents.

Under the proposed plans, British businesses would face aggressive surprise inspections modeled after standard restaurant hygiene checks to catch firms employing illegal workers. Mr Yusuf conceded that certain industries might experience withdrawal symptoms after becoming heavily dependent on overseas labour.

The party maintains that these measures will transform Britain’s current border framework into one of the most secure systems in the world, though questions regarding administrative feasibility remain open.
