Immigration Enforcement
It matters more here
Immigration Enforcement (IE) is the operational arm of the Home Office responsible for reducing the size of the illegal population and the harm it causes. Its key missions are to:
- prevent illegal immigration through greater compliance with immigration laws;
- maximise returns of immigration offenders and Foreign National Offenders from the UK;
- tackle the threats associated with immigration offending.
We work with law enforcement and cross-government partners to tackle serious and organised immigration crime with a focus on bringing to justice those who exploit the vulnerable, for example cases of modern slavery and human trafficking.
Around 5,000 people work Immigration Enforcement in locations across the UK.
What you could be doing
Immigration Enforcement is made up of many different business areas, all working collaboratively to achieve the organisation’s aims. If you work for us, you could be:
- Targeting the gangs and criminals who support illegal immigration and exploit the vulnerable.
- Undertaking intelligence-led enforcement visits targeting high priority individuals.
- Facilitating returns of Foreign National Offenders
- Working with partners to encourage compliance with immigration laws
