As the contest for the UK Conservative Party leadership between UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak approaches its culmination, the latter candidate promised to take a tougher stance on migrant offenders if he becomes Britain’s next prime minister.According to The Guardian, Sunak argued that the UK is “far too soft on foreigners who commit crime in our country,” and proposed a new policy touted as a “radical new approach to cutting crime.”The new policy would involve, for example, deportation orders being considered if a foreign offender had been jailed for at least six months continuously – currently, one has to have been jailed for at least 12 months to face such a punishment – or if they have been jailed three times for any period of time.The overall aim of this policy, the media outlet suggests, seems to be to double the number of deportations.A spokesperson for the UK Home Office reportedly said that the removal of “foreign national offenders” from the country is “a priority for this government,” and that some 10,741 “foreign criminals” have been removed from the UK since January 2019.Both Sunak and Truss also reportedly support the expansion of a policy introduced by the outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson that involves deporting refugees to Rwanda.

Rishi Sunak Seeks to Crack Down on Foreign Lawbreakers, Increase Number of Deportations
09:11 GMT 29.07.2022 (Updated: 15:20 GMT 28.05.2023) A new policy proposed by Rishi Sunak would involve deportation being considered for offenders from abroad who have either been jailed at least three times, no matter the length of the sentence, or who have spent at least six months continuously in the slammer.
As the contest for the UK Conservative Party leadership between UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak approaches its culmination, the latter candidate promised to take a tougher stance on migrant offenders if he becomes Britain’s next prime minister.
According to The Guardian, Sunak argued that the UK is “far too soft on foreigners who commit crime in our country,” and proposed a new policy touted as a “radical new approach to cutting crime.”
The new policy would involve, for example, deportation orders being considered if a foreign offender had been jailed for at least six months continuously – currently, one has to have been jailed for at least 12 months to face such a punishment – or if they have been jailed three times for any period of time.
The overall aim of this policy, the media outlet suggests, seems to be to double the number of deportations.
A spokesperson for the UK Home Office reportedly said that the removal of “foreign national offenders” from the country is “a priority for this government,” and that some 10,741 “foreign criminals” have been removed from the UK since January 2019.
“The pool of people eligible for removal is not the barrier to returns, it is the merry-go-round legal challenges that individuals and their legal representatives use which requires systemic change,” they said. “That is why our Nationality and Borders Act makes it harder for those who try to enter last-minute claims as a delay tactic to frustrate removals.”
Both Sunak and Truss also reportedly support the expansion of a policy introduced by the outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson that involves
deporting refugees to Rwanda.
