Nearly 60,000 unauthorised migrants and convicted criminals have been removed or deported from the UK since Labour took office, the Home Office has said.
The announcement came amid claims that the government was promoting “harmful stereotypes” by equating migration with criminality.
Officials said the figure was the highest number in a decade.
The department said 15,200 people who were in the UK illegally were removed since the 2024 election – a 45% increase on the previous 19 months.
A statement said 43,000 people left voluntarily after being told they were in the UK illegally. Deportations of foreign national offenders have risen by 32%, with more than 8,700 deported under this Labour government.
The Home Office also released footage showing a recent removals flight, with detainees, their faces blurred, being escorted on to a plane destined for eastern Europe.
The figures have been released as the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said she would “scale up” the number of deportations even further.
Keir Starmer’s government, languishing third in recent polls behind Reform UK and the Tories, has pledged to ramp up deportations, end the use of asylum hotels and curb the number of small boats bringing people across the Channel.
More than 65,000 people have arrived in the UK by crossing the Channel since Starmer became prime minister.

How many unauthorized migrants won the lottery and are receiving massive amounts of money and free stuff from the poor taxpayer ?
Nearly 60,000 unauthorised migrants and convicted criminals have been removed or deported——only to be immediately replaced by even more convicted criminals.
