The UK's immigration and border industry is increasingly privatised, with 213 companies identified as involved in deportations, surveillance, border construction, and detention. Critics argue that these companies profit from the UK Government's 'hostile environment' policy, which they deem systemically unfair and unsafe. The Home Office defends its practices, stating it will continue to deport 'foreign criminals' and that private contractors do not make immigration decisions. Airlines such as Easyjet and British Airways, travel companies like Carlson Wagonlit Travel and TUI, and tech firms including Cellebrite and Deloitte Digital are implicated. The Home Office spent nearly £9m on deportation charter flights in 2020. Critics, including MPs and human rights organizations, call for resistance against corporate involvement in border enforcement and urge companies to reconsider their participation in deportations.
