First 'one in one out' migrant sent back to France, government says
Under the UK-France deal, the UK will deport Channel crossers to France and receive approved asylum seekers, aiming to reduce small boat arrivals by up to 75%, British Future says.
- The UK government deported the first migrant back to France under the 'one in, one out' deal on Thursday, sending a man from India on an Air France flight.
- The deportation followed a returns agreement with France reached in July aiming to remove asylum seekers who crossed the Channel irregularly while admitting those with legitimate claims.
- The scheme has faced legal challenges including a High Court ruling granting a 14-day injunction to an Eritrean man claiming modern slavery to delay his removal.
- Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood pledged to tackle last-minute, unfounded claims that delay removals and affirmed her commitment to strongly uphold the interests of the British public, emphasizing her determination to protect the border at all costs.
- Eleanor Lyons, who serves as the independent anti-slavery commissioner, criticized Mahmood’s remarks, challenging the assertion that the system is being exploited and cautioning that such claims could discourage actual victims of exploitation from coming forward.
