"A statement from Mahmood on Wednesday emphasised the government's determination to make the returns scheme work, saying that anyone looking to return to the UK after being removed under the UK-France agreement is wasting their time and money. Mahmood continued: This individual was detected by biometrics and detained instantly. His case was expedited, and now he has been removed again. My message is clear: if you try to return to the UK you will be sent back. I will do whatever it takes to scale up removals of illegal migrants and secure our borders."
"The man arrived in the UK for the first time on 6 August and was returned to France on 19 September. He then came back to the UK on a small boat on 18 October and claimed asylum. Although trafficking indicators were raised, the Home Office made a readmission request to France for him on 21 October, which was accepted on 24 October. His trafficking claim was referred to the national referral mechanism for consideration but was rejected on 27 October."
"If I thought France was a safe place for me I would never have come to the UK."
The man first arrived in the UK on 6 August and was returned to France on 19 September under the UK–France returns agreement. He crossed back to the UK on 18 October by small boat and claimed asylum. Trafficking indicators were raised and his case was referred to the national referral mechanism, which rejected his trafficking claim on 27 October. The Home Office made a readmission request that France accepted, and biometric detection led to his detention and expedited removal. He had been deemed vulnerable and received hourly welfare checks for mental health concerns. He claims to be a victim of modern slavery and fears for his life if returned to France.
