WATCH: ‘We don’t know who they are!’ Mark White warns of threat as illegal Channel crossings spike

Home and Security editor Mark White has warned of a "national security risk" posed by the surge in illegal Channel crossings, highlighting concerns over unidentified migrants arriving in the UK.

Mark told GB News that many young men crossing the Channel are instructed by people traffickers to discard their identification documents, leaving authorities with no knowledge of who they actually are.

He emphasised that security services across Europe have identified individuals posing national security risks among migrant populations, including former Isis fighters who previously operated in Syria.

The warning comes after a staggering 1,194 migrants arrived in the UK on 18 small boats on Saturday, marking one of the highest single-day totals on record.
