The UK government launched a nationwide crackdown on illegal migrants, targeting Indian restaurants, nail bars, and convenience stores. Inspired by US President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, the operation led to 609 arrests and 19,000 deportations since Labour took power last July. The Home Office released a video of migrants boarding deportation flights, stating raids increased by 48% compared to last year. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper defended the move, saying illegal employment exploits migrants and undermines the economy. The Opposition Conservatives called the Labour Party’s immigration bill "weak" and demanded tougher measures.
