"A migrant who returned to the UK by small boat after being removed to France under the "one-in, one out" scheme has been removed again. Home Office sources said a returns flight on Wednesday morning included the man who was removed on 19 September, before he returned to the UK on 18 October. The man claimed to have been a victim of modern slavery at the hands of smuggling gangs in France."
"Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the man's case had been expedited after he was detected by biometrics and detained. She added: "Anyone looking to return to the UK after being removed under the UK-France agreement is wasting their time and money. "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.""
A migrant removed to France under the UK-France 'one-in, one-out' scheme returned to the UK by small boat and was removed again on a returns flight. The individual had been removed on 19 September and returned to the UK on 18 October. The person claimed to have been a victim of modern slavery by smuggling gangs in France. The case was expedited after detection by biometrics and subsequent detention. A warning was issued that attempts to return after removal under the UK-France agreement waste time and money and that returnees will be sent back. So far, 94 migrants have been removed from the UK under the treaty, and 57 people have arrived from France under the scheme.
