Factcheck: Are Migrants Really Bringing Drugs Across Borders?
Factcheck: Are Migrants Really Bringing Drugs Across Borders?
In April 2023, ahead of the final debates on the Illegal Migration Bill, now Act, then-UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman claimed that migrants crossing the English Channel were linked to “heightened levels of criminality,” with “many people are coming here illegally and they’re getting very quickly involved in the drugs trade,” a claim offered with no evidence. The claim that migrants are bringing drugs across borders, into Europe or other Western destinations needs to be seriously factchecked. (TALKING DRUGS, UK, 27.02.2024)
