LONDON: Homeland ministers from Britain, the United States and the other \u201cFive Eyes\u201d alliance will announce new measures this week to increase border security and target people smugglers, British interior minister Shabana Mahmood said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The ministers from the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network \u2014 the US, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand \u2014 will meet in London on Monday and Tuesday, Britain\u2019s Home Office said, with measures to \u201csmash criminal smuggling gangs\u201d the focus of the talks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will agree new measures to protect our borders with our Five Eyes partners, hitting people smugglers hard,\u201d Mahmood, who was only appointed to her job on Friday after Prime Minister Keir Starmer reshuffled his ministers.<\/p>\n
Countries across the world are wrestling with how to deal with the issue of migration, with the US President Donald Trump making a crackdown on legal and illegal immigration a central plank of his second White House term.<\/p>\n
In Britain, it has become the dominant political topic, with the government under great pressure from rivals over how to deal with a record number of asylum claims and arrivals by migrants in small boats across the Channel.<\/p>\n
Joining Mahmood for the talks will be US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Canada\u2019s Gary Anandasangaree, Tony Burke, Australia\u2019s Home Affairs Minister, and Judith Collins from New Zealand.<\/p>\n
As well as people smuggling, the group will discuss new measures to tackle those behind child sexual abuse online and how to stop the spread of deadly synthetic opioids, the Home Office said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
