Seven men found living in squalor in an overcrowded Small Heath home have been arrested as part of a huge national crackdown to deport immigrants working and living illegally in the country. The men, whose ages range from 24 to 41, were found to have been living illegally in a property on St Benedict's Road after six of them entered the UK unlawfully. Two of the men, both Pakistani, have been deported from the country after entering illegally, while efforts are being made to remove the other five, one of which was arrested for overstaying his VISA.
The arrests were made as part of an Immigration Enforcement led operation to stamp out illegal workers after a link between houses with multiple occupants and working illegally was established. The majority of those arrested were Indian nationals, but people from Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and Albania were also found living illegally across the country.
