Kemi Badenoch Unveils Aggressive Plan to Deport 750,000 Illegal Immigrants Within Five Years
Manchester, United Kingdom – October 6, 2025
UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has unveiled a sweeping immigration crackdown, pledging to deport 750,000 undocumented migrants within five years as part of what she described as “a plan to restore control of Britain’s borders.”
Speaking at the Conservative Party conference on Monday, Badenoch outlined a Trump-style immigration policy that would involve the creation of a £1.8 billion “Removals Force” dedicated to identifying, detaining, and deporting illegal immigrants. The policy, she said, is essential to “do the right thing” and “bring order back to our system.”
Badenoch said she would be willing to repeal the Human Rights Act and even withdraw the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) if necessary to implement the policy. “We cannot continue to be held hostage by laws that prevent us from protecting our borders,” she declared. “Those who come here illegally must go back, either to their countries of origin or to any safe third country willing to take them.”
The plan prioritizes fast-tracked deportations for those who arrive via small boats across the English Channel, a route that has seen record numbers in recent years. The proposal also calls for increased detention capacity and the use of digital tracking to monitor migrants awaiting removal.
Critics, however, have warned that Badenoch’s plan could ignite a legal and moral backlash both domestically and internationally.
Human rights organizations have condemned the proposal as a violation of international law and an attack on the principles of asylum. The opposition Labour Party accused Badenoch of “pandering to populism” and risking Britain’s global reputation as a defender of human rights.
Political analysts see the move as an attempt by Badenoch to rally the Conservative base and differentiate her leadership from the party’s more moderate factions, particularly as immigration remains one of the most divisive issues in British politics.
If implemented, the plan would represent one of the most radical overhauls of UK immigration policy in decades, setting up a potential showdown between the Badenoch government and the courts, as well as the European Union.
