This seems to make a lot of sense to me , as well as seizing mobile phones and sim cards from those who have made the crossing and are being processed by migration officers, they are also making it a criminal offence to store engines or replacement engines for boats to be used for these crossings.
Both the data they extract from the electronic devices of those that have landed and the reduction in the number of engine boats available will target those who persist in offering channel crossings to the unfortunate people who get caught up in their web and who risk their lives while paying out a large amount of money.
It’s a necessary way to weed out those who prey on other’s misery.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
