Reform UK has pledged to review asylum decisions made over the past five years if it wins the next general election.
Under the proposals, up to 400,000 people could face deportation, including those granted asylum, individuals who have overstayed visas, and migrants from countries a Reform-led government would classify as safe.
The Labour Party government has also announced stricter immigration measures, including plans to reduce the use of asylum hotels and disrupt human trafficking networks.
Meanwhile, the Conservative Party has criticised Reform for adopting similar policies “without the detail,” while the Liberal Democrats described the proposals as an “impractical farce.”

Reform UK’s wider immigration agenda includes a ban on arrivals by small boats and measures that could result in up to 600,000 deportations over five years.
The party, led by Nigel Farage, has also proposed that the UK leave the European Convention on Human Rights to facilitate removals and end automatic eligibility for permanent settlement after five years.
Reform’s home affairs spokesman, Zia Yusuf, said the scale of deportations under the plan would be “unprecedented in this country.”
He said the party would also seek to restrict access to welfare for undocumented migrants, including ending free accommodation, adding that the proposals would be difficult to implement but reflected a lack of political will in previous approaches.
Meanwhile, Farage said financial incentives for voluntary departures would include “an air ticket and up to £1,000.”
