Human Smugglers Launching ‘Swarms’ of Small Boats Filled With Illegal Migrants in the English Channel To Evade French Police on Their Way to the UK

The French police slacking in their job to impede illegal migrant boats to cross the English Channel towards the UK, and on top of that, the people smugglers are varying their approach, and adopting a dangerous new tactic: they are simultaneously launching multiple small boats at once, in a swarm, to try and escape French police.

Daily Mail reported:

“EU border agency Frontex said in an official updated that traffickers were adapting their methods in an attempt to boost the number of successful crossings. It said the tactic of ‘simultaneous departures’ was putting more lives at risk by overwhelming search and rescue teams.

[…] Channel crossings continued today, with pictures showing new arrivals wearing life jackets being brought to shore in a Border Force boat in Dover, Kent and being driven away from the port.”

WATCH: Migrants set off from the French coast in a small boat for England while police do little to intervene – despite UK funding to stop them.

A record first five months of 2025 brought 14,812 illegal arrivals, despite a 20 per cent drop in irregular border crossings into the European Union.

“A major point of contention between Britain and France has been the French authorities’ refusal to turn back migrants who are already in the water.

The French government has now indicated its willingness to change tactics and turn back boats in the shallows, but are demanding more money to do so.”
