Second deportation flight of week under UK-France deal set to take place today
- A 25-year-old Eritrean man who arrived in the UK via a small boat in August 2025 faces deportation to France under the 'one in, one out' pilot scheme scheduled for Friday morning.
- The deportation comes after the UK and France established a scheme in July to curb small boat crossings amid record arrivals, with the man's asylum application in the UK being rejected earlier in August.
- The man claimed forced conscription in Eritrea in 2019 and alleged trafficking but gave inconsistent accounts, leading the Home Office and Judge Sheldon to conclude no serious legal issue justified blocking removal.
- His barristers sought 'interim relief' to delay deportation for a full legal challenge, but the High Court refused it, stating 'the application for interim relief is refused' and noting the man was granted anonymity.
- This deportation marks an early use of the bilateral scheme to exchange migrants between the UK and France, indicating the government’s intention to scale returns amid ongoing protests and rising anti-immigrant sentiment.
