Reform UK will pledge to restore Britain's Christian heritage by stopping churches being turned into mosques and deporting almost 300,000 illegal migrants every year.
Nigel Farage's party will today vow to create a British version of Donald Trump's US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unit to deport up to 288,000 migrants per year.
The 'UK Deportation Command' would have capacity to detain up to 24,000 migrants at any time and will run five deportation flights a day if Reform wins power, the party will announce.
Zia Yusuf will outline Reform's plans for a 'radical overhaul' of the immigration system, with Britain's borders put on a war footing due to the 'national security emergency' created by the 'invasion' of illegal migrants.
The party's pick for home secretary will use a speech in Dover today to outline Reform's joined-up approach to immigration, policing and national security that will include a 'zero-tolerance' approach to Islamist extremism and reforms to Britain's counter-terror programme.
It comes after controversies in the US following two fatal shootings of seemingly innocent civilians involving Mr Trump's ICE agents and Border Patrol officials in January.
Part of Reform's plans to 'protect Britain's Christian heritage' include granting immediate listed status to all churches to legally prevent their conversion into mosques or other places of worship.

I hope the pro-Britain parties can form a coalition.
No, they aren’t. Farage already caved on mass re-migration.
Quotes?
That’s a start, but Reform must also remember to shut down the English Channel to small boat crossings.
Britain’s Christian heritage ............
**********
Uh well, let me think about that. Elizabeth chopping off Mary’s head because she was Catholic.........not such a great “Christian heritage.” Henry signaling he wanted Thomas Becket, St. Thomas of Canterbury, murdered, which occurred in a church......not such a great “Christian heritage.” How about preserving Greco-Judeo-Christian heritage? Gives Britain a broader base for civilized action.
Here is Nigel Farage on X from January 17, 2026:
Nigel Farage: Britain is Broken, Nothing Works
It is three minutes, 20 seconds. There is not one word about immigration or border enforcement.
The date is important. It is before Rupert Lowe launched Restore Britain on February 14.
Anything that comes out of Nigel's mouth about immigration is in reaction to Restore Britain.
Unfortunately, 300,000 is nowhere near enough. It needs to be TEN TIMES that size. Deporting 3 million illegal aliens per year and not letting any more in - nor any legal migrants from non Western countries - would fix Britain’s biggest problem in a few years. 300,000 per year would take decades and decades to have much effect. Not sufficient.
I don’t think Elizabeth had Mary executed strictly because she was Catholic. Try looking up the Babington Plot which Mary was involved in.
He has always said they will deport loads of them
I don’t think he’s gone soft
