What is so contentious about Shabana Mahmood's new asylum reforms?

The British government has announced a series of major reforms to its asylum system aimed at reducing arrivals and increasing deportations. Proposed by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, the contentious plans include seizing valuables from asylum seekers to help pay for their cases and making refugee status temporary with reviews every 30 months. The reforms would also extend the wait for permanent residency from five to 20 years and reconsider how human rights law is applied to migration cases. These measures are widely viewed as a response to public discontent over immigration figures and the political rise of the Reform UK party.
