Nineteen migrants were deported to France on two flights, including one on Thursday, under the Government's returns deal, bringing the total returned under the agreement to 26 after seven removals last month. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said flights to France are under way and ramping up to deter illegal Channel crossings. Mahmood warned that people arriving illegally face detention and removal and urged potential migrants to reconsider making the journey.
