The UK may suspend visas for countries that do not have agreements in place for the return of migrants.


The UK may consider suspending visas for countries that do not establish migrant return agreements, according to the new Home Secretary. Shabana Mahmood made this statement while hosting officials from the U.S. Homeland Security and ministers from Australia, New Zealand, and Canada during a meeting of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing group in London. This discussion occurred amid ongoing pressure on the government to lessen the number of individuals making small boat crossings in the Channel. On Mahmood's first full day in office, a record-high of 1,097 people arrived in the UK.
