Home Office migrant video is slammed as 'clickbait'
Bristol Post
|January 14, 2026
A NEW Home Office TikTok account posting footage of deportations and arrests has been criticised as turning raids into “clickbait online entertainment”.
-
Secure Borders UK was set up on Tuesday with the slogan: “Restoring order and control to our borders.”
The first 20-second video shows people handcuffed and put on to planes, and raids to arrest illegal workers. It ends with the message: “And it’s just getting started.”
Refugee charity Freedom From Torture branded the move as “more populist, dehumanising social media content designed to distract and divide us”.
The Refugee Council also said there was “little evidence” that these types of messages work.
According to The Sun, the Home Office said the account was aimed at tackling online misinformation and to deter people from making the dangerous crossing over the English Channel.
