"It will come as a relief to the government amid pressure to tackle the small boats crisis, with Donald Trump on Thursday suggesting Keir Starmer should use the military to stop illegal migration. The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said the first return showed people crossing the Channel that if you enter the UK illegally, we will seek to remove you. She said she would continue to challenge any last-minute, vexatious attempts to frustrate a removal in the courts."
"Another Eritrean man successfully asked the high court on Tuesday to temporarily block his deportation after the judge found there was a serious issue to be tried over whether his removal was lawful amid claims he had been trafficked. But on Thursday, in the second legal challenge brought against the Home Office over the deal, the same judge refused the migrant's application for interim relief before a full legal challenge against the decision to deport him."
An Eritrean man was deported from the UK to France under a one-in, one-out returns agreement after a high court refused to grant interim relief. The flight departed Heathrow for Paris at 6.15am on Friday. The agreement exchanges removals with approvals for approved applicants in France to come to Britain. The first person removed under the deal was an Indian national who arrived in the UK by small boat in August. The returns agreement faced scrutiny after reports of cancelled removal flights and competing legal claims, including trafficking allegations and procedural fairness challenges.
