Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill includes counter-terror style powers.

Includes measures to crack down on smugglers who cram small boats with migrants.

But Labour MPs have criticised the new Bill because it actively retains Tory decision to disqualify asylum seekers who cross the Channel from claiming protection from modern slavery.

Border Force currently has to deal with floating crime scenes’ where children have been held over edge of boats.

But officers currently lack the powers to deal these awful circumstances’ Border Force will also be given the power to seize phones, laptops and other devices from migrants at the border to gather intelligence on people-smuggling gangs.
