Crimes of Violence: Repatriation

Asked by Andrew RosindellReform UKHome OfficeTabled Answered 4 September 2025UIN 70337

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps to deport immigrants found guilty of violent crimes.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

Foreign nationals who commit serious crimes in our country will face the full force of the law and be deported at the earliest opportunity.

This government has already removed almost 5,200 foreign national offenders in its first year of office, a 14 per cent increase on the previous twelve months (5 July 2024 to 4 July 2025) and we will continue to crack down on any foreign nationals who come to this country and break our rules.
