UK Borders Act 2007 (2007 c 30)

The Act introduced significant changes to immigration control and border protection within the United Kingdom. It granted the UK Border Agency enhanced powers to detain individuals suspected of immigration offences and expedited the removal process for individuals who lacked legal permission to remain in the UK. Another critical development was the mandatory deportation of foreign criminals convicted of serious offences. These measures aimed to tighten border security, streamline immigration enforcement, and ensure that foreign nationals who committed severe crimes faced automatic removal to bolster public safety and uphold immigration laws.
