The UK Border Force intercepted a boat carrying 22 suspected migrants in the English Channel this morning.
A small vessel was picked up at around 7am in the waters between the UK and France.
No information has been given about the ages, gender, or nationalities of the people found.
They will be medically assessed before being passed to immigration officials in Dover, the Home Office said.
It comes after two incidents on Friday where Border Force intercepted a total of 20 male migrants off the UK coast.
