UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has warned that India and other countries could face new visa limits if they refuse to take back illegal migrants. Reports say more than 20,000 Indians in Britain may be affected. Mahmood said she is ready to risk tensions to push deportations, calling her approach “transactional.” The UK’s plan comes after the Five Eyes group agreed to pressure nations on migrant returns. India tops the list of visa overstayers, though it signed a returns deal in 2021. Experts warn the crackdown could damage UK-India ties. Mahmood vowed to act “whatever it takes.” (PC: X)
