Britain Uses TikTok to Publicize Immigration Raids Amid Political Debate

Britain's government launched a TikTok account to showcase immigration raids targeting illegal workers, aiming to address public concerns and deter migrants. Since July 2024, raids and arrests have reached record levels, focusing on businesses like nail bars and car washes. The move is part of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's strategy to regain voter support amid competition from Reform UK. While some praise the tougher stance, critics argue the videos are insensitive and politicize enforcement actions.
