Violence from people-smuggling gangs and illegal migrants along the French coastline is escalating to such a degree that children are even being used as “human shields” during confrontations with police, a British Border Force official has claimed.
“We’ve seen them with sticks, metal bars, machetes, using women and children that are there to cross, using them as human shields to prevent law enforcement taking action,” Heginbottom Paris has argued that it would be unsafe — and supposedly illegal under their interpretation of international maritime laws — to try to stop or turn back migrant boats as the migrants have threatened to harm themselves and even their own children if interfered with.
Yet, a potential political solution to the Channel crisis and France’s obstinacy may be emerging, with Ireland drafting emergency legislation to send the increasing number of migrants illegally crossing the soft border with the UK’s Northern Ireland supposedly in order to flee before being removed to Rwanda by the British Home Office.
