PM Keir Starmer Organised Immigration Crime Summit

Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted the Organised Immigration Crime Summit on March 31, 2025, bringing together representatives from over 40 nations and organizations to address illegal migration and people-smuggling. Key announcements and measures included:
International Cooperation: Starmer emphasized the need for unity among nations to combat people-smuggling gangs, likening the effort to counter-terrorism strategies. He criticized the fragmented response to illegal migration and called for pooling resources and intelligence to dismantle smuggling networks globally.
New Legislation: The government introduced landmark laws under the Border Security, Asylum, and Immigration Bill. These include criminalizing actions that endanger lives at sea, seizing migrants' phones to identify smugglers, and mandating right-to-work checks for all businesses, including those in the gig economy.
Rwanda Deportation Scheme Criticism: Starmer declared the previous Conservative government's Rwanda plan "dead and buried," describing it as a costly failure that never acted as a deterrent. Labour pledged to replace it with more effective strategies.
Funding and Enforcement: £33 million was allocated to disrupt smuggling networks, while immigration enforcement reached record levels with over 24,000 removals since July 2024. This includes returns of foreign national offenders and asylum-related cases.
The summit marked a significant shift in UK immigration policy, focusing on international collaboration and practical enforcement rather than controversial deportation schemes.
