The Home Office works to build a safe, fair and prosperous UK. We achieve this through our work on counter‑terrorism, policing, crime, drugs policy, immigration and passports.
Immigration Enforcement (IE) is responsible for enforcing the government’s immigration laws, tackling illegal migration, removing foreign national offenders and immigration offenders from the UK. It also aims to disrupt the organised criminal groups that exploit the vulnerable for their personal gain. Learn more on our careers pages.
The Skylark team works with key partners to identify, prioritise and manage foreign nationals who pose a risk to the public. Through strong collaboration and effective information sharing, the team supports operational responses that protect communities and strengthen public and border safety.
The Skylark team delivers two case progression workstreams. The Foreign National Offenders Hub is a joint Immigration Enforcement and policing function that focuses on identifying foreign national offenders who present a threat to the public, supporting the management and removal of individuals who cause harm within communities. The Non FNO Hub operates as a cross migration and Borders function that identifies foreign nationals arrested on suspicion of serious criminality in the UK, reviews action taken and drives learning to strengthen future operational responses.
The team works closely with stakeholders across the Home Office, Immigration Enforcement and, UK policing, to improve understanding of shared priorities and support a unified approach to managing high harm offenders. A key objective is to improve data sharing between policing and Immigration Enforcement to better identify and manage persistent criminal threats.
