Reform Home Office enforcement powers to prevent abuse.
We call Parliament to reform Home Office immigration enforcement powers by requiring body-worn cameras, strict procedural safeguards, access to legal advice, interpreter support, and clear legal limits on powers of entry, detention and questioning, to prevent abuse, coercion and unfair enforcement.
Home Office enforcement officers exercise serious powers of entry,detention and questioning, yet unlike police officers they are not required to wear body cameras or follow legal safeguards. This lack of transparency allows abuse, coercion and unfair practices to go unchecked. Individuals and businesses face penalties on flawed investigations. Parliament must act to introduce body cameras to all officers, legal warnings, access to legal advice, interpreter,and clear limits on enforcement powers.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Body-worn cameras are being rolled out (announcement of December 2024) to 1,200 enforcement officers:

Immigration enforcement officers also appear already to follow strict procedural/legal safeguards:

In this context it is not clear what you are asking for that is not already being done.
