The government has been accused of turning enforcement raids on illegal migrants into “clickbait online entertainment” after launching a new TikTok account showing videos boasting about deportations and arrests.
Launched by the Home Office on Tuesday, the “Secure Borders UK” account currently has just one video. With dramatic music playing in the background, it cuts together clips of immigration enforcement officers raiding homes and businesses and arresting people thought to be in the UK illegally, while key immigration statistics play across the screen.
