London Enforcement – Street Operations This must be the boldest enforcement operation. Street Ops, as they are known, involve a group of immigration officers in full immigration uniform trying to spot illegal immigrants amongst in busy streets. In this episode we follow two Street Ops. The first at North Greenwich Tube Station, where a man is stopped and questioned but then wriggles free and runs. He’s caught but a passerby gets involved, there’s a scuffle and lots of shouting and threats. The other operation at Stratford Station picks up a number of illegal workers on their way into work. These operations are very successful for UKBA as they always get results. Heathrow A Jamaican man, who’s made a convoluted trip to London from the Caribbean, is alerted to the Chief Immigration Officer Mat Dyson because of a potential fake passport. The journey into London is one often used by drug smugglers. They search his bags and find nothing. They decide to send him to the doctor for a medical and they X-ray his stomach. Their suspicions look to have paid off as they see suspicious shapes inside bowel. He’s put on a “drugs toilet” which after three visits, and a few hours, he passes 96 packages of cocaine. He was arrested and eventually given 6 years in prison. Also at Terminal 3, a man claiming to be a Doctor from Sierra Leone has flown from America to Heathrow to catch a flight onto Sierra Leone. His flight to Sierra Leone is from Gatwick. However, because he’s a Sierra Leone national he must have a ‘transit visa’ or a ‘visit visa’ to allow him to catch his connecting flight. He has neither and he’s only recently been refused a visa. Immigration Officer Bridgette Hall has the authority to let him through if she is satisfied he will not stay in the UK. She conducts a routine bag search where she finds mountains of prescription drugs and piles of women’s clothing. He then admits he’s not a real doctor. All this is very suspicious. He is sent back to America. The third Terminal 3 story sees Immigration Officer Lisa Lee with a young Canadian computer gaming enthusiast who wants to enter the UK to visit his new girlfriend. He doesn’t have much money to support himself for his 6 months stay. To check his story Lisa Lea phones the new girlfriend and she is surprised to finds out that his girlfriend is actually a man. The Canadian mutters his relationship is ‘complicated’. After consulting with her boss Mat Dyson, Bridgette allows him entry into Britain on the condition he returns to Canada on the date on his return ticket. Worcestershire, Enforcement The Midlands enforcement team raids a spring onion farm in Worcestershire and find 20 elderly Indian men and women. It’s a depressing scene as the working conditions are grim and the pay is terrible. 17 of the 20 are illegal immigrants.
