The home office of the country has started a campaign to arrest immigrants without valid documents in the UK ahead of the election. On Wednesday 15 May, the Home Office launched a coordinated raid on illegal immigrants in Bethnal Green, East London's largest Bangladeshi-populated area. 

With the help of the Metropolitan Police, the Home Office raided shops in the area using face recognition cameras. Before this, the Home Office conducted a similar raid in Whitechapel, a Bangladeshi-dominated area on April 30.  The Home Office had not confirmed how many people had been detained in Wednesday's raids at the time of writing this report at 7pm.

Commenting on this matter, Barrister Md. Iqbal Hossain, Principal Barrister of Chancery Solicitors in London told Daily Dazzling Dawn, Because of the raids, there is concern among Bangladeshis living in the country without valid documents or work permits and their relatives.

He further said that, if those who do not have valid documents for work or residence in Britain without bringing new visas are given legal status, then Britain's economy would benefit and Britain would get more revenue from the money they earn.
