US Edition16 Migrants Deported to France - but Hundreds More Cross the Channel in Small Boats
The UK has deported 42 migrants to France under a one-in, one-out deal designed to deter dangerous Channel crossings, with more flights planned, the Home Office said.
- This week, sixteen people who entered the United Kingdom illegally were returned to France on a single flight, raising deportations under the UK Home Office deal to 42.
- The 'one‑in, one‑out' returns deal, agreed by Emmanuel Macron, President of France, and Sir Keir Starmer, UK Prime Minister earlier this year, aims to deter dangerous English Channel crossings.
- More than 36,000 people have crossed the Channel this year, about a third higher than last year, and a day earlier, 369 people crossed in seven boats.
- Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood vowed to scale up removals and warned that small boat arrivals can be sent back, with more flights expected in the coming days and week.
- Next week Sir Keir Starmer will host a leaders' summit with western Balkan countries while international policing efforts target smuggling gangs and Martin Hewitt said the plan will deliver.
