# Border Security Minister Issues Key Updates as First Migrants Arrive at New Removal Centre
The Home Office minister provided crucial information to the Express regarding the arrival of the first migrants at the Campsfield Immigration Removal Centre, which has recently reopened. This significant development follows the government's continued efforts to manage immigration and strengthen border security in the UK.
Migrants being accommodated at Campsfield will include a diverse group of individuals. As outlined by officials, “Detained individuals will be escorted to the IRC either directly from prison, a short-term holding facility after their illegal entry to the UK or following enforcement action such as illegal working arrests. They will comprise of foreign national criminals, immigration offenders, illegal small boats arrivals and failed asylum seekers.” This indicates a focused approach to detaining those who pose a risk to the country.
