FAMILIES SHATTERED: New Deportation Blitz Targets Refugees!

FAMILIES SHATTERED: New Deportation Blitz Targets Refugees!

Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, announced a sweeping overhaul of the UK’s asylum system, a move born from a growing sense of crisis and fueled by personal attacks. She revealed a stark reality: hundreds of families, having exhausted their legal options, remain in taxpayer-funded housing, despite originating from a country deemed safe for return.

Shabana Mahmood appearing on the BBC1 current affairs programme, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg with an image of asylum seekers on boats behind her GRAVELINES, FRANCE - AUGUST 12: Migrants wade into the sea in an attempt to board a small boat on August 12, 2025 in Gravelines, France. More than 50000 small boat migrants have now crossed the English Channel since Labour came to power last July. Last week the UK and France began implementing the so-called 'one-in, one-out' treaty, which was agreed during French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit last month, in an effort to curb illegal migration across the English Channel. Under the pilot scheme, a proportion of undocumented people arriving to the UK in small boats will be returned to France, in exchange for the same number of legitimate asylum seekers who may have family ties in the UK.
