Illegal work arrests double in year as police target 'unscrupulous' employers

Illegal work arrests have doubled in a year, with immigration officials intensifying efforts to combat employers exploiting vulnerable individuals in the UK. The Home Office reported over 6,400 arrests in businesses nationwide, a 51% increase from the previous year. Cases revealed inhumane working conditions and below-minimum wages in various industries, with nearly 30,000 undocumented individuals returned over the past year. The government aims to tighten work visas and address illegal migration, despite some opposing views on the effectiveness of the proposed reforms.
