UK Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, has promised a US-style immigration crackdown, threatening to deport 150,000 migrants who do not have a right to remain in the country annually.
Speaking in a video message released via her official X account on Sunday, Badenoch announced the creation of new Removals Force, modeled after the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, to tackle illegal migration head-on.
She criticised both Conservative and Labour governments for their handling of the migration crisis in Britain.
Madam Kemi also accused Labour of presiding over record levels of illegal crossings and wasting public funds on asylum accommodations.
She said: “Today, I’m launching our Radical Borders Plan, the toughest reforms Britain has ever seen to border laws and operations. Successive governments have failed on immigration. Labour promised to smash the gangs. “Only the Conservatives have the courage and clarity to fix this.
“My message is simple, if you are in the UK illegally, you will be detained and deported. It’s pure weakness. Britain needs a serious, credible plan and the backbone to deliver it.” Badenoch concluded.

Today the @Conservatives have set out £47 billion in savings.
When we say we are serious about Britain living within its means, we mean it.
