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.

Who are they trying to appeal to with this? I know that Reform is ahead in the polls but basically every conservative party across the planet is suffering from their relationships/similarities to trump and US republicans.

Do they think this will make them appealing to MORE people?
