UK: over 2,000 victims reported to immigration enforcement
The UK police reported more than 2,000 victims of serious crimes, including child sexual exploitation and domestic abuse, to immigration enforcement between 2020 and 2022. The policy has been criticised by civil society groups and MPs for deterring victims from seeking help, and for putting them in dangerous situations. The police inspectorate had called for an end to the policy in 2020.
