UK’s Liberal Gov’t Reportedly Planning To Release Migrant Crime Stats For First Time

Yvette Cooper, the home secretary of the British Labour Party, ordered the publication of migrant crime statistics by nationality, The Telegraph reported.

The Home Office will release official “league tables” of crimes committed by foreign nationals residing in the UK, including those awaiting deportation, according to the outlet. The decision will mark the first time the British government has provided a comprehensive breakdown of foreign criminality, with the public previously only having access to unofficial migrant crime statistics.

“Not only are we deporting foreign criminals at a rate never seen when Chris Philip and Robert Jenrick were in charge at the Home Office, but we will also be publishing far more information about that cohort of offenders than the Tories ever did,” a Labour source told the outlet.

Labour is expected to release the first tranche of data by the end of 2025, with figures focusing on the 19,000-plus foreign nationals currently awaiting deportation orders, the outlet reported. The tables will detail categories like violent crime, robbery, theft and drug offenses by nationality.

Jenrick, immigration minister under the previous Tory government, celebrated the move as a “breakthrough” in an Instagram video.

“The coverup is coming to an end,” Jenrick said. “We’ll finally see the hard reality that mass migration is fueling crime across our country.”
