Reform UK will set out its plans for a swathe of new proposals to tackle immigration, including mass deportations and ramped up surveillance.
The party’s new home affairs spokesperson, Zia Yusuf, will deliver a speech on Reform’s plans to create a new “Trump inspired” deportation agency with the capacity to detain 24,000 migrants at a time, modelled on the controversial Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in the US.
Mr Yusuf will also outline plans to scrap indefinite leave to remain and replace it with a renewable five-year work visa and dedicated spouse visa on Monday morning.
The speech will also see the party unveil plans for a new rule mandating automatic home searches for anyone referred to the Prevent counter-terrorism programme by three “separate, corroborating authorities”.
Labour hit out at the plans, saying Britain is a “proud, tolerant and diverse nation”, which stands in opposition to the “divisive politics stoked by Reform”.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International UK accused the party of scapegoating migrants to “justify mass deportations and expanded police surveillance”.
