According to the sources of this story, five of the suspected terrorists are from Iraq, five from Iran, four from the now-Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, four hail from Somalia, while one is believed to be from Libya. At least five of them are believed to be connected to ISIS, while others have been linked to Iranian terrorist cells. Seven were already under ‘active investigation’ in other countries when they arrived here, it is understood.
Daily Mail A recent report from the ‘Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration’, vetting of the migrants crossing the Channel was so ‘inexcusably awful’ that border officials were failingto complete even the most basic of steps, such as recording the names and fingerprints.
But, despite them having no legal right to remain in the country after breaking in via a small boat, most have since lodged asylum claims here – and cannot be deported due to Britain’s membership in the ECHR (European Commission on Human Rights)
Some of the 19 suspects are now under surveillance by the Security Service MI5, the government listening post GCHQ, and counter-terrorism police, it is believed. But the Government is powerless to remove any of the 19, because they face a risk of torture or ill-treatment in their home countries. (On and we can’t have that happening to terrorists, now can we?)
British security services established the true identities of many of the 19 suspected terrorists through the routine fingerprinting carried out on all Channel arrivals, it is understood.

Evidence against them varies from case to case but is thought to include a mix of overseas convictions and intelligence material. ‘Once they’re here we can monitor them and limit any potential threat they pose but it adds to the overall surveillance burden.’
The revelation will place intense pressure on opponents of the Government’s Illegal Migration Bill, which sets out new powers to detain Channel migrants, limit their access to human rights appeals and then remove them from the UK to Rwanda or another safe country.
Last night the suspected terrorists’ arrival in Britain by small boat was described as a ‘national scandal’. Former Army officer Bob Seely, a Tory MP, said: ‘There are now not only criminals coming into the country illegally, but people with terrorist affiliations. This is appalling and deeply concerning.
Prosecution of the 19 suspected Muslim terrorists who arrived by small boat last year is currently thought to be impossible. If the cases against them are based on surveillance material – or other information from intelligence-gathering – it cannot be used in British courts.

MI5 and MI6 resist attempts to use such evidence in open court, fearing it will expose their surveillance capabilities or put covert sources in danger. The suspects cannot be arrested and remanded in jail because there is no prospect of them being charged or prosecuted, based on available evidence.
Official figures show 1,057 small boat migrants reached Britain in the week to yesterday, the highest seven-day total so far this year.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has vowed to ‘stop the boats’ as one of his five key pledges to voters, after last year’s total reached a record of more than 45,700.

You and everybody else here!
So… what’s the point of having the intelligence material if they can’t use it?
We have tons of courts that aren’t “open court” so why can’t they try these savages there?
Another daily dose of news from a country that should be called Lemmingville.
Yep that is how it done. First you import the terror orgs into your country and you put down your own folk and then you have …yep the same shit as is written here. Germany has been warned by many secret services that it imports islamists and terror orgs but that dont stop our nancy faeser or baerbock no they insist upon bringing all of afgahnistan and irak iran libbya and more into our country and we are all bad raccists and nazis and for all antisemites. Germany has all terror orgs that are present and it feeds and clothes them plus they get more rights than the countrys owners. These orgs can plan all day the many nice things that they will inflict upon us then we pay all inclusiv. Soon people this will be over and we must stand together or we fall forever.
