Reform to create agency like ICE and new detention centres for migrants - Lemmy

Reform UK has announced it would create an ICE-style agency to oversee the deportation of illegal migrants if it were in government. Zia Yusuf, Reform’s new home affairs spokesperson, said on Monday morning that a Reform government would establish a UK Deportation Command. Its task would be to deliver “Operation Restoring Justice” to fulfil the party’s plan of deporting 600,000 illegal migrants. He also announced an overhaul of the Prevent counter-extremism programme to target “Islamist extremism”, and said a Reform government would ban groups it deemed extremist. Yusuf further said that new laws would stop the “incendiary” act of churches being converted into mosques.

There will be selective enforcement, just as there is in the US.

Maybe they’ll come for him later once he’s no longer useful, but as long as he’s in the in-crowd, he’ll enjoy impunity.

ICE actually aren’t that good at selective enforcement. They’re paid per arrest, so restraint isn’t really in their vocabulary as been overzealous makes them more money.
