"British Transport Police records show 80 raids with immigration officers were carried out in London in the past 10 months - a rate of about two per week. The raids were evenly divided between tube and mainline railway stations. Under a new protocol revealed by Underground officials, random checks should not happen, and the Immigration Service can only work with transport police as part of pre-planned, intelligence led operations. Only people suspected of fare evasion, drug-dealing or other offences may be quizzed on immigration status."
