Home Office to appeal temporary block on man's deportation under 'one in, one out' plan
The Home Office challenges a court ruling that temporarily blocked a deportation under the "one in, one out" immigration plan, aiming to maintain border control amid legal disputes.
- The Home Office is challenging a court ruling that postponed the deportation of a man under the UK-France pilot program aimed at returning Channel crossers to France, with removals originally scheduled for this week.
- The delay followed a last-minute slavery claim by the man, which Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood criticized as vexatious and a mockery of immigration laws.
- The pilot scheme, established through an agreement between the UK Prime Minister and the French President in July, seeks to discourage small boat crossings by promptly returning migrants, although the initial deportation flights reportedly left without any passengers.
- Home Office insists it is reasonable to expect asylum claims in France and pledged to fight legal challenges, with Mahmood stating she will "fight last-minute attempts to frustrate removal at every step."
- The legal challenge raises issues around the Secretary of State's investigatory duties and potential misuse of the Modern Slavery Act, while the government maintains plans for imminent deportations despite ongoing court cases.
