Kemi Badenoch’s Trump-loving Tory Party wants to introduce an ICE-style immigration body – 17 scathing responses
If you were wondering whether Kemi Badenoch’s desire to take the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights came with a side of Trump-licking, then yes. Yes it does.
The Tories, who once insisted they were no longer ‘the nasty party’ now insist that, if* they’re elected, they’ll bring in an ICE-style body to forcibly round up ‘illegal immigrants’.
*It’s an ‘if’ that’s visible from space.
My message is clear: if you’re here illegally, you will be detained and deported.

People whose asylum requests have been refused are already being deported, and – if there’s one thing we’ve picked up from the Tory discourse – there seems to be a difference of opinion on what is and isn’t legal for asylum seekers.
The Tories estimate they will round up and deport 150,000 people each year. Where they would be sent is another grey area.

As the US ICE teams are undertrained, violent, and scornful of due process, the idea of a body modelled on them hasn’t exactly filled people with glee.

After only very gently push back, Kemi Badenoch’s plan to send people “back to where they came from” instantly falls apart
They’ve learnt absolutely nothing from 14 years in government. This is them shouting “Rwanda” at any given opportunity all over again#bbclaurak pic.twitter.com/4HtUtpogCz

So #BadEnoch and #Farage want #ICE-style #Gestapo Units on the streets of Britain, does she? Randomly targeting people of colour, behind a mask, with no ID?
You know when we call Reform and Tories '#Fascist' ?

They’ll happily throw £1.6bn at chasing 1% of migrants, but can’t fix the NHS, housing or poverty for their own people. That’s not policy, it’s distraction.
