Immigration Enforcement is a division of the Home Office responsible for enforcing immigration law in the United Kingdom. It was established from the section of the UK Border Agency (UKBA) responsible for enforcing immigration.

History

The Home Secretary Theresa May announced the abolition of the UK Border Agency on 26 March 2013, with the intention that its work would be returned to the Home Office.[1] The agency's executive agency status was removed, and internally it was split, with one division responsible for the visa system and the other for immigration enforcement.[2]
