Nail bars and car washes to be targeted in summer immigration raids

Nail bars and car washes will be targeted by immigration officers as they step up enforcement action over the summer, the home secretary has announced.

Yvette Cooper said 1,000 civil servants working on the now-abandoned Rwanda scheme will staff a new "returns and enforcement programme".

Why not target prostitution and drug dealing rackets that blight community's.

[passamaquoddy]

That's real smart give them a heads up to stay away from these areas.

What are they going to do when they arrest the illegal immigrants? Have them sitting in a hotel for years on end?

No Turkish barbershops?
Vape shops?
Phone shops?

[chrysalis]

Don't forget the "Turkish" barbers and American sweet shops, all money laundering fronts.

Home office has never, in the past 10 years, deported anyone using shame marriages to stay in the uk. It's still going on look into this

OMG WHY ANNOUNCE WHAT YOUR GOING TO DO BY RAIDING BUSINESSES! JUST GO DO IT DONT WARN PEOPLE, HOW SILLY TO TELL THEM WHAT YOUR GOING TO DO. GIVE THEM PLENTY OF TIME TO DUH 😮

[benbow]

And how many will actually get sent back?

[Rick-xpsy]

Turkish barbers shops and takeaway drivers are definitely flooded with cash in hand and recieving benefits, way overdue.

[pauloakes]

Please don’t raid our local massage parlour.

What a great idea to give them all prior warning ‼

[canaladoradores]

They should not tell where they are going to target.

Seen from the outside, I have always perceived the UK as a civilized law and order society. But that view may be completely skewed. 🤔

When Sunak put this in place, everyone lost their minds, but now that Labour are doing the same. Seems ok. Typical.

[marvinnicholas]

What about Barber shops, escorts in the city and deliveroo, just eat and Uber eats

[dricci]

Door to door in Luton would save a fortune in housing benefit

[TomNook.]

It's always been the opinion of more expensive businesses to say the cheaper option is lower quality. But consumers have already factored that in when making their decision. 99% of the time, they offer similar quality for much less.

15 Turkish barber shops on a road less than a mile long ? And then all the Pizza outlets that are faux Italian ! Oh and a dozen or more East European "convenience' shops on the same road ! All the owners seem to drive large Mercs and Range Rovers must be very good indeed !

[adambartlett]

Jesus just sort this already!! The public is sick and tired of seeing the same problem year after year after year

[alanknight]

They just need to add all the foreign men I see delivering food in the UK and that would be a hatrick
