Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, announced at an event in the United States that he plans to bring Tom Homan, a hardline immigration adviser to President Donald Trump, to the UK to help enforce stricter border control policies. Homan is known for his aggressive stance on deportations and was involved in controversial measures like family separation under the Trump administration. Farage's comments come as relations between the White House and Downing Street are tense over issues such as Iran and Israel policy.

Story summary
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, wants to bring Tom Homan, a key adviser for US President Donald Trump on ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), to the UK to help "secure our borders." Speaking at an event where Homan was present, Farage said he plans to "hijack" him. Farage also urged Europe to view the Trump administration more positively than how it is often portrayed in mainstream media as "villainous." ICE has faced criticism for its aggressive approach to immigration enforcement, including fatal shootings by agents; since Trump took office, there have been 29 such incidents tracked by The Trace. Reform UK supports strict immigration policies, advocating for mass deportations and naval interceptions of migrant boats crossing the English Channel.
