The government is planning to tag foreign criminals to keep them from fleeing. Priti Patel announced that more than the UK has deported over 900 foreign criminals since the start of the year.
“The #NewPlanForImmigration I’m introducing will make it easier to deport these appalling criminals from our country — protecting the British public,” she reported.
The Home Secretary is going to make electronic ankle tags a condition of their release from jail. “She has ordered enough GPS kits for 4,500 offenders by the end of next year. Britain can kick out foreign citizens who have been jailed, with 7,985 removed since January 2019,” The Sun reported.
According to reports, more than 250 criminals have been issued with GPS devices. Patel said, “It will help to deter foreign criminals who callously seek to abuse the system, breach bail conditions, and commit further crimes, putting the lives and safety of the public at risk.”
