Published: 11/16/2025

UK announces fast-track deportations as part of asylum reforms proposed by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. The changes aim to reduce illegal migration and end multiple appeals against removal, with asylum granted on a temporary basis and stricter criteria for permanent settlement. The proposed reforms have drawn criticism but are supported by Prime Minister Keir Starmer to increase removals of individuals with no legal right to stay in the UK. The government plans to overhaul human rights legislation to ensure swift deportations and tighten restrictions on successful asylum seekers.
