As part of this activity, Immigrant Enforcement play a critical safeguarding role, working closely with the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority and other organisations to allow employees to report labour exploitation, the Home office said in a statement.
Eddy Montgomery, Director of Enforcement, Compliance and Crime, expressed hope that the actions would send a strong signal.
"I hope it sends a strong signal that there is no hiding place from the law, and we will continue to ramp up our activity to ensure those involved face the full consequences," he said.
