Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced that France will now intervene to stop migrant boats from reaching the UK. This change aims to combat strategies employed by smugglers who have begun picking up migrants directly from the sea, eluding current French policing practices. The new rules are pending implementation, reflecting broader trends in migration and the ongoing challenges faced by authorities in managing these situations. The tactical evolution of smugglers raises urgent questions about migrant safety and effective border control strategies.
