According to a report from The Sun, Britain’s top circulation newspaper, a record 19,491 migrant criminals have been released back into public despite being eligible for deportation.
The cohort of migrant offenders remaining in Britain has soared in recent years, jumping by over 300 per cent from 2017 when there were 5,933 walking UK streets.
The paper further reported that the number of migrant criminals living in Britain has jumped by nearly 1,000 since Prime Minister Starmer took power last year.
In September, the government announced new powers to the Home Office to immediately deport foreign offenders from prison, rather than just those who had been sentenced to over a year in prison. The government also reduced the amount of time spent behind bars to become eligible for removal from 50 per cent to 30 per cent.
However, deportations can still be blocked by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which the UK remains bound by despite Brexit as it is technically a separate institution from the European Union, despite sharing the same anthem, flag, and campus in Strasbourg.
