The UK on Thursday unveiled tougher laws including travel restrictions and a ban on phone usage to clamp down on “vile” people smugglers behind organised immigration crime networks.
The Home Office said new interim orders will allow immediate action to disrupt and deter suspected serious criminality in a "major upgrade" to the country's Serious Crime Prevention Orders.
The changes form part of the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, with new powers mirroring those which are already used to disrupt other harmful criminality such as knife crime, slavery and trafficking.
