Restaurant and building trades targeted in more raids on illegal working, says James Cleverly

The restaurant and building trades are being targeted in more immigration raids to find illegal workers, Home Secretary James Cleverly said on Tuesday.It comes as the Home Office announced on Tuesday that it had met a target to clear a backlog of asylum claims, with more than 112,000 cases processed in 2023. Two thirds of applications (67 per cent) subject to an initial decision last year were granted.
