The Labour government points out this was a 73% increase compared to January last year - when the Conservatives were in power - and 352 arrests were made across 556 visits.
Labour have been emphasising border security since its election, recognising that the topic is one of the most important to voters - and not wanting to lose ground to the Tories or Reform UK.
Some 3,930 arrests have been made over 5,424 visits by immigration enforcement officers since July when Labour took over, according to Home Office figures.
The number of arrests highlighted today happened after a series of raids at businesses like restaurants, takeaways, cafes, car washes, nail bars and vape shops.
