(Politico) The European Union warned Britain its crackdown on Channel migrant crossings violates international law — as the U.K. urged it to read the details.
In an interview with POLITICO in Brussels, European Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson said she had spoken to U.K. Home Secretary Suella Braverman on Tuesday.
“I spoke to the British minister yesterday on this and I told her that I think that this is violating international law,” Johansson said.
Johansson’s comments are the latest international backlash against the British government’s Illegal Migration Bill, which was unveiled this week in a bid to stop small boats arriving on the country’s shores.
