"Some 16 migrants will challenge Sir Keir Starmer's scheme in the High Court on Wednesday and are expected to claim that the deal breaches modern slavery laws.

Migrants have launched a legal bid to halt deportations under the UK's one in, one out returns deal with France amid concerns that Labour is failing trafficking and modern slavery victims.
