LONDON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Britain's ‌government has launched a TikTok account showing raids on migrants accused of working illegally, with ‌the aim of convincing voters and potential new arrivals that it is tackling what many ‌see as Britain's most pressing problem: immigration.

The securebordersuk account posted a 20-second clip showing a sequence of doors being smashed in by armoured officers, people being led from workplaces in handcuffs and planes taking off, all set to a soaring soundtrack and ‍on-screen text trumpeting an increase in raids and deportations.
