UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged a "relentless" approach to combating illegal migration, emphasizing increased efforts to dismantle human smuggling gangs. This includes a significant doubling of National Crime Agency officers dedicated to the issue, alongside efforts to offer safe routes for those in genuine need. The government has also seen a substantial increase in deportations and seizures of smuggling equipment, aiming to regain control of the UK's borders amidst political pressure and lower, but still significant, numbers of small-boat crossings.
