Home Secretary: Asylum seekers who commit crimes ineligible for accommodation

Asylum seekers in the UK who break the law or work illegally will soon lose government-funded accommodation and support payments, as announced by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. The new rule, effective June, stipulates that only those with legitimate claims who comply with regulations will receive taxpayer support. This shift aims to deter illegal migration amidst ongoing discussions about the asylum system’s effectiveness and the use of hotels for housing asylum seekers.
