GB News host Emily Carver has criticised plans for delivery companies to implement facial recognition checks as merely "the bare minimum" in preventing illegal immigrants from working as riders.
Immigration Enforcement teams are preparing to launch what officials describe as a "nationwide blitz" on illegal working hotspots, with particular focus on the gig economy.
The strategic operation will bring together officers nationwide to target migrants suspected of working illegally whilst receiving taxpayer-funded accommodation or financial support.
Speaking on GB News, former immigration minister Kevin Foster said: "There is certainly technology that these firms could be using. Just think of our own banking apps, where virtually any transaction can require you to show your face or use biometrics."
