The UK’s GPS Tagging of Migrants Has Been Ruled Illegal

Recently, the practice of GPS tagging migrants in the UK has been deemed illegal by the courts. This controversial tactic, used to track the movements of individuals seeking asylum in the country, has sparked outrage among human rights activists and legal experts.

The ruling comes after a number of cases where migrants have been subjected to GPS tagging without their consent, with some individuals reporting a violation of their privacy and personal freedoms. The courts have ruled that this practice is not in line with UK law and have called for an end to the use of GPS tracking on migrants.

This decision is a victory for human rights advocates who have long been campaigning against the use of GPS tracking on vulnerable populations. It is hoped that this ruling will lead to greater protections for migrants and asylum-seekers in the UK, ensuring that their rights are respected and upheld.

Moving forward, it will be important for the government to reassess its approach to monitoring migrants and to find alternative solutions that do not violate their rights. The ruling against GPS tagging is a step in the right direction towards ensuring a more fair and just system for all individuals seeking protection in the UK.
