Farage Accused Of 'Wanting To Bring Trump's Death Squads' To UK

Nigel Farage has been accused of wanting to bring Donald Trump’s “death squads” to the UK amid Reform’s plans to crack down on immigration.

The US president is facing heightened backlash right now after an agent representing America’s ICE – Immigration and Customs Enforcement – fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis.

Trump claimed the deceased woman was “driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer”, before the official shot her in self-defence.

But footage of the shooting suggests the woman tried to back up and drive away when agents told her to “get out of the fucking car”.

The incident has sparked intense outrage in the States and a wider debate about ICE amid Trump’s push to cut back on immigration.

Reform’s closeness with the current US administration means this conversation has leapt across the Atlantic.

As Green Party leader Zack Polanski pointed out, Farage has long suggested he would like to reduce immigration in the UK.

He said: “Farage wants to bring Trump’s death squads to the streets of Britain.

“Together, we will stop him.”

He pointed to a Reform policy document from August which promises to create an “enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre”.

Polanski also noted that the Conservative Party previously pledged to introduce a £1.6 billion ICE-style removal force.

He wrote in a later post: “Trump started it.

“Reform and Tories are at it too. And Labour already heading in that direction. All cruel, potentially deadly and does nothing to fix the cost of living crisis.”

His concerns were echoed by other users on X, too...

Reform UK was approached for a comment to Polanski’s remarks.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Farage was asked what he thought of Polanski.

He said: “This Polanski bloke has appeared out of nowhere... clearly a lunatic.”
