75 suspected illegal immigrants were detained and 122 businesses issued civil penalties for employing illegals during a week-long crackdown led by UK's Immigration Enforcement officers. The operation targeted car washes and nail bars, with Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, stating that employers are often complicit with smuggling gangs and exploit undocumented workers. Businesses found employing illegals face fines of up to £60,000 for repeat offences, as part of the Home Office's ongoing commitment to tackle illegal employment and protect vulnerable individuals.
