(BBC) A man has been arrested after a small boat carrying migrants was intercepted in the Channel.
The Home Office said a Border Force cutter intercepted a vessel carrying 10 men who said they were Somali, Sudanese and Yemeni on Tuesday.
A government spokesman said the men were brought to Dover and transferred to immigration officials after the incident, at about 06:40 BST.
One man was arrested on suspicion of assisting unlawful entry into the UK.
Minister for immigration compliance and the courts, Chris Philp, said: “We are determined to dismantle the ruthless criminal gangs who facilitate these crossings and put people’s lives in danger.”
