Illegal Migration Bill Implementation

The Home Office is implementing the Illegal Migration Act 2023 and related provisions from the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act 2025 to deter small boat crossings and manage asylum claims, including processing previously inadmissible cases following the cancelled Rwanda scheme. The policy has generated unintended consequences including a significant increase in people staying permanently in the UK and asylum claims from visa holders, prompting budget-driven reforms and scrutiny of detention practices. Implementation is active with ongoing Treasury oversight and accountability assessments.
