The first boatload of illegal migrants of 2025 has crossed the English Channel, GB News can exclusively reveal.
A Border Force vessel picked up the migrants from their small boat early on Saturday morning - and is currently on its way back to Dover.
It comes after almost 37,000 people made the treacherous journey in small boats last year.
Some 1,500 crossed over the Christmas period, but poor weather conditions have meant no migrants have attempted the crossing since December 29.
