Cooper ‘pandering’ to Farage by ordering publication of foreign criminals’ nationalities

Summary
The UK Home Office has announced plans to publish the nationalities and crimes of foreign offenders living in the country, sparking backlash from migrant rights groups and MPs who accuse Home Secretary Yvette Cooper of fueling racism and division. Critics warn that this move could increase prejudice and even provoke riots, especially given last year’s anti-immigrant unrest.

Organizations like the Migrants’ Rights Network and Detention Action argue the policy scapegoats migrants and perpetuates systemic racism, while Labour MPs say releasing such data without proper context is irresponsible and could be used to incite hate.

The decision is seen as part of Labour’s effort to counter the growing popularity of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party ahead of local elections. Government sources claim the new data will help inform the public and improve transparency, with initial figures expected to show that Albanians, Romanians, and Poles are the most common foreign offenders, mostly for drug production, theft, and assault.

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick supports the move, arguing that mass migration contributes to rising crime. The policy is part of a broader hardening of the UK’s immigration stance, including recent proposals to deny citizenship to those who arrived via “dangerous” routes and discussions with France about returning asylum seekers.
