  • This is The Guardian.

  • Hundreds of thousands, millions of people potentially would be at risk of deportation.

  • We will create a new agency, UK Deportation Command,

  • which will have just one mission to track down and detain those in this country illegally.

  • So a lot of people who are here completely legally at risk of deportation as well,

  • and actually makes it much more extreme than the policies that Donald Trump is pursuing in the US.

  • Reform UK has announced plans for an ICE-style agency that could deport hundreds of thousands of people every year.

  • Plans that Labour have condemned as divisive and un-British.

  • From the Guardians today in focus, this is the latest with me, Lucy Hough.

  • And joined by Jessica Elger, the Guardian's Deputy Political Editor.

  • Thanks so much for dialing in from Parliament, Jessica.

  • It's great to see you.

  • So Zia Youssef just stood up in Dover at a press conference with Shadow Home Secretary.

  • This being, of course, a Reform UK press conference,

  • announcing a new ICE-style agency dedicated to deporting thousands of people.

  • These are plans that seem alarming and extreme?

  • Tell me about what's the EU surface announced today?

  • I mean, it's not reform, don't use that term, but it's clear what this agency is modelled on.

  • He says he would create this Agency of the UK Deportation Command,

  • which should be dedicated to deporting hundreds of thousands of people as well.
