Farage Revises Deportation Plans Excluding Women, Children

Nigel Farage's Reform UK party has proposed a plan to detain and deport up to 600,000 illegal migrants within five years, targeting primarily those arriving via small boats across the Channel. Initially, Farage stated the plan included detaining women and children on arrival, but later clarified that the focus for the first five years would be on adult males, with a possible phased approach for unaccompanied children later. Farage also mentioned the complex possibility of deporting children born in the UK to illegal immigrant parents. The plan, dubbed "Operation Restoring Justice," aims to stop small boat crossings within days by eliminating incentives for illegal entry, though it has been criticized by opposition parties as unworkable and inflammatory. Meanwhile, the UK government dismissed fears of civil disorder related to the migrant issue and emphasized working with other countries and international conventions rather than unilateral deals. In a related but separate case, two Honduran immigrants in Florida were sentenced to lengthy prison terms for transporting underage girls for sexual activity, highlighting criminal issues connected to undocumented immigrants in the US.
