The UK government is set to step up immigration enforcement efforts in Northern Ireland, with authorities planning a stronger crackdown on illegal migrants entering and living in the region through the Common Travel Area (CTA).
According to a government source, the Home Office will increase intelligence-led operations aimed at identifying, detaining, arresting and removing people found to be in the UK illegally, as per a report by BBC. The expanded enforcement campaign will involve Immigration Enforcement officers and Border Force personnel operating along key Common Travel Area routes.
