BBC - More than 900 migrants crossed the Channel in small boats on Friday, government figures have shown. The Home Office said 919 people made the journey in 14 boats, pushing the total for the year to just over 16,000. This is 42% higher than the same point last year and 79% up on the same date in 2023.
The Guardian - The Trump administration deportation campaign is reportedly shifting its focus away from raids on the agricultural and hospitality sectors after Donald Trump conceded this week that his immigration policies are hurting the farming and hotel industries.
The New York Times reported that an internal email was sent on Thursday by Tatum King, a senior official with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), to regional department leaders at Homeland Security Investigations, directing them to stop workplace immigration enforcement actions unless related to criminal investigations.
“Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” King wrote in the guidance, according to the outlet.
The email explained that investigations involving “human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling into these industries are OK”, but added that agents were not to make arrests of “noncriminal collaterals”.
