Hundreds arrested in week-long crackdown on suspected illegal working
Hundreds of arrests have been made as part of what the Government called a 'week-long crackdown' on asylum seekers taking jobs for delivery firms. A total of 1,780 people were stopped and spoken to at locations across the UK over suspected illegal working activity between July 20 and 27. Some 280 were arrested as a result, in areas including Hillingdon in north-west London, Dumfries in Scotland, and Birmingham, the Home Office said. Some 89 of those have been detained pending removal from the country and 53 are now having their asylum support reviewed, which the Government said could result in their support being suspended or withdrawn. The Home Office described the operation as a 'nationwide intensification week' targeting illegal working hotspots, with a focus on the gig economy and people working as delivery riders. Immigration enforcement teams will receive £5 million from the £100 million in funding already announced for border security, aimed at increasing visits by officers in these areas over the coming months, it said. Border security minister Dame Angela Eagle said: 'Illegal working undermines our border security and we're cracking down hard on it. 'That's why we have intensified our enforcement activity right across the UK to crack down on those who think they can evade immigration and employment laws in the UK. ' As well as the arrests, 51 businesses including car washes and restaurants were issued with penalty notices that could see them handed hefty fines if they are found to have hired people without the right to work in the UK. Eddy Montgomery, enforcement director at the Home Office, said officers were taking action 'around the clock' against 'those who think they can get away with working illegally'. Asylum seekers in the UK are normally barred from work while their claim is being processed, though permission can be applied for after a year of waiting. Officials had indicated there would be an increase in work to target areas of suspected activity, as ministers hope to tackle the 'pull factors' attracting migrants to the UK. It comes after the Government announced it would share information about asylum hotel locations with food delivery firms in a bid to disrupt such hotspots. Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the Conservatives wanted to strip asylum seekers of their status and deport them, if they work illegally, and claimed 'this story has only happened' because he 'exposed what Labour refused to see'. He described one hotel housing asylum seekers as a 'black-market, courier hub in plain sight', referring to food delivery riders he had seen allegedly operating out of the site without permission. 'Labour are now boasting about arrests, but we know they are too scared to actually deport anyone,' Mr Philp continued. 'People breaking the law are still being put up in hotels and handed benefits. 'It's a racket and Labour are letting it run.' Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat have said they will ramp up facial verification and fraud checks over the coming months to prevent people working as riders without permission.

Hong Kong police warrants ‘act of transnational repression'
Hong Kong police efforts to crack down on pro-democracy campaigners represent 'a clear act of transnational repression', a UK minister has warned. Eleven national governments and the European Union have signed a joint statement, vowing to bolster protection for people within their borders who face intimidation and harassment from administrations overseas. The Hong Kong Police Force last month issued 19 arrest warrants for campaigners who set up and joined the Hong Kong Parliament movement. The campaigners would like to see 'the reconstruction of a free, fair, and self-governing Hong Kong', according to the organisation's website. Police in Hong Kong have offered rewards of up to one million Hong Kong dollars (almost £100,000) to individuals who help track down the campaigners, including people who live outside of their jurisdiction. 'Together with our international partners, we condemn the Hong Kong police's efforts to coerce, intimidate and harass those living in the UK and overseas,' security minister Dan Jarvis wrote on X. 'We will not tolerate these acts of transnational repression in our country.' Referring to the joint statement which the UK has signed, as a member of the G7's rapid response mechanism (RRM), Foreign Office minister Catherine West said: 'The UK and partners have condemned the latest arrest warrants and bounties issued by the Hong Kong Police – a clear act of transnational repression.' The statement, also signed by the governments of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the US, Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Sweden, reads: 'The authorities issued arrest warrants and bounties on individuals outside Hong Kong's borders, including in G7 RRM countries, for exercising their freedom of expression. 'This form of transnational repression undermines national security, state sovereignty, human rights, and the safety of communities.' The signatories added: 'G7 RRM members and associate members are committed to strengthening our efforts to safeguard our sovereignty, to keep our communities safe, and to defend individuals from the overreach of governments trying to silence, intimidate, harass, harm or coerce them within our borders. 'We encourage individuals to report suspicious activities and any incidents of intimidation, harassment, coercion, or threats to their law enforcement authorities in accordance with domestic laws and regulations.' According to the Hong Kong Police Force, the organisation has a 'responsibility to pursue, in accordance with the law, persons suspected of committing offences under the Hong Kong National Security Law outside Hong Kong'. The Hong Kong Parliament group 'aims to subvert state power; its objectives include promoting self-determination, promulgating the so-called Hong Kong Constitution, and overthrowing or undermining the basic system of the People's Republic of China', so its members face arrest suspected of committing 'subversion' according to local laws, a police statement added. In a statement on the Hong Kong Parliament website, the organisation 'stands as both a representative voice and a protective institution for Hongkongers worldwide'. Its members 'are committed to safeguarding our community, defending the rule of law, and exposing the CCP's (Chinese Communist Party's) system of governance for what it is: authoritarianism masked as legitimacy'.
