UK govt has examined “feasibility studies” on mass expulsions of European citizens starting in 2022.

Internal documents reveal govt concerned that people who can’t prove they were present in UK before Brexit shouldn’t be allowed to “create precedents for staying”.
From the documents quoted to me (as I understand it) assuming Brexit is 31 October any EUer who does not have resident status fixed by 2021 will be subject to:
1 “enforcement action”
2 “detention”
3 “removal”

As an “immigration offender”.

The relevant info is clear on this.
The problem Home office are faced with is estimating in advance how many people this would involve. As dependent on this the costings/infrastructure requires would be significant.
A bit benused why people getting more worked up about this than, say, the Turkish/Trump thread i started.

Usually I try to bring stories that haven’t (fully) broken main media yet but in this case there’s actually a sizeable amount of literature out there on expulsions already.
BBC link shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone really.
