| Amid a surge in small-boat Channel crossings—recorded at over 30,000 so far in 2025—new UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced plans to relocate asylum seekers from costly hotel accommodations to former military sites and barracks. Defence Secretary John Healey confirmed military planners will support this shift, and the government is also exploring return agreements with France and Germany, as well as potential reforms to how the European Convention on Human Rights applies to deportations. |
