MIGRANTS could be electronically tagged to stop them absconding under drastic plans to cut small boat crossings.<\/p>\n
Suella Braverman today said she was considering \u201call options\u201d to monitor asylum seekers if detention spaces become full.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Home Secretary insisted: \u201cWe need to exercise a level of control over people if we\u2019re to remove them from the United Kingdom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she accused a \u201crange of forces\u201d including left-wing campaigners and lawyers for trying to thwart the government\u2019s pledge to stop the boats.<\/p>\n
And she even blasted Sir Keir Starmer\u2019s Labour for actively wanting to \u201cfacilitate illegal migration\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the Rwanda deportation scheme on ice pending an autumn Supreme Court battle, the asylum backlog has soared to a record 175,000 waiting for a decision.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Taxpayers are footing a \u00a34billion annual bill to house migrants, including \u00a36million-a-day to put them up in hotels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Under new laws the Home Secretary now has a duty to detain illegal migrants, but space in detention centres is limited to just 2,500.<\/p>\n
Officials have been tasked with finding ways of keeping checks on them, including GPS tagging, according to The Times.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s immigration lawyers, NGOs – many of which have close links with the Labour Party – operating night and day to stop us delivering this pledge\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n She added: \u201cThe Labour Party has no plan to stop the boats, they want free movement of people and want to facilitate illegal migration.\u201d<\/p>\nCoronation Street star gives birth to third child and shares adorable name<\/h3>\n<\/section>\n
