"Cooper was asked by Sky News if she will guarantee the migrants will be sent back to France this month, she said the government will "continue to work" with Paris. She was asked again for a guarantee, Cooper told Sky News, "We expect the first returns to take place this month. "But I've always said from the very beginning on this, it's a pilot scheme and it needs to build up over time.""
""The overall principle is that if you're here illegally, you can't expect to stay here forever. We're saying the first phase of deportations should be focusing on men primarily. There's many men of young age, in their 20s, and that's where we would start and go through the process. We've said, 'look, it's going to take a parliamentary term to remove some 600,000 people'. But anybody who is here illegally should not expect to be allowed to stay here forever.""
The Home Secretary did not guarantee that illegal migrants would be returned to France this month under the one-in, one-out deal, saying returns are expected and that the government will continue to work with Paris. The Home Secretary described the arrangement as a pilot scheme that needs to build up over time and declined to promise September removals. Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice dismissed the announced measures as ineffective, urged deporting everyone in the UK illegally, proposed prioritising men in their 20s, and projected removal of roughly 600,000 people over a parliamentary term, with initial cases taking about five years.
