UK to consider Denmark-style immigration changes to reduce Channel crossings.

The UK is considering major immigration reforms inspired by Denmark’s strict policies, including tighter family reunification rules and temporary asylum stays, to deter Channel crossings and improve removals. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is expected to unveil the changes later in November 2025, amid internal Labour Party debate over balancing deterrence with progressive values. The move follows concerns over a deported migrant’s return and growing public anxiety. While officials study Denmark’s model to enhance border control and integration, specifics remain unclear, and the government maintains its system remains functional.
