Chairing the @border_mgmt Africa Summit in Zanzibar next week with border, immigration and law enforcement leaders from around the world. Human smuggling will not be defeated by countries working alone. Stronger international cooperation is essential to disrupt it #BorderSecurity

As borders become increasingly digital, where does human judgement fit in?
In the latest issue of @border_mgmt, Tony Smith explores the evolution of border technology and why investing in experienced officers remains essential.

STATEMENT:
Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police.
Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison.
They forged a passport.
They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.
They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.
This is unprecedented.
The police are now involved.
Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.
But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.
Here’s what happened 👇

Pretty good just now in Lisbon, I have to say. About 10 minute wait inbound no wait outbound, kiosks and gates worked well at both. Simple easy to use and plenty of facilitators to help. That’s the way to do it! @border_mgmt

Capturing biometrics for passengers in vehicles was always going to be hard. We believe there are technologies out there to help - and will continue to explore through our @border_mgmt channels. #biometrics #futureborders #ibmata

EES preparations continue to take shape at Dover - but there will no new biometric checks for car passengers from tomorrow as the French tech still isn’t ready.

The UK Together rally in London today is being sold as a march of love, unity, and hope - against racism and the far-right.
But a quick look at who’s backing it reveals a very different story. 🧵

New EU biometric border checks due to be introduced at the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel next month have been delayed again. The French authorities are having ongoing technical issues with what's called the Entry Exit system.

From 25 February, British dual nationals will no longer be allowed to enter the UK using only a foreign passport.
To board a plane, they’ll need a valid British passport or a ’Certificate of Entitlement’ - costing £589.
The Home Office says airlines can accept expired UK passports at their own discretion, but there’s no legal guarantee you won’t be turned away at the airport gate.

على هامش مؤتمر "إدارة الحدود والتقنيات في الشرق الأوسط"، سعدتُ بلقاء معالي الفريق أول الشيخ راشد بن عبد الله آل خليفة وزير الداخلية بمملكة البحرين.

🇧🇭 في مملكة البحرين اليوم للمشاركة في المؤتمر الدولي لإدارة الحدود والتكنولوجيا 2025.
حدودنا البرية والبحرية والجوية ليست فقط بوابات لتبادل البضائع والسفر، بل أيضاً نقاط تستغلها العصابات الإجرامية، ومن خلال شراكتنا مع منظمة الجمارك العالمية وهيئات الجمارك الوطنية، نكافح الجريمة بالاعتماد على أدوات مبتكرة مثل جهاز الإنتربول المحمول IMD الذي يتيح الاتصال الفوري بقاعدة البيانات الخاصة بمنظمة الإنتربول والقيام بعمليات التدقيق الأمني بكل سرعة وفاعلية.
