Britain's Labor government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is proposing a new law that will punish people who post online advertisements for illegal immigration services with up to five years in jail. About 80% of immigrants arriving illegally in the UK use social networks to contact traffickers. The measure is intended to strengthen existing legislation and help law enforcement agencies fight criminal networks. The government recently implemented a new sanctions regime to target people involved in facilitating illegal immigration.
