A migrant has been returned to France as part of a new ‘one in one out’ agreement, according to The Mirror. The individual, who entered the UK via a small boat, was repatriated by plane on Thursday. This development marks a significant achievement for the Government following a pact made with French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this year.
Per the arrangement, asylum seekers undertaking the perilous journey will face deportation, while an equal number of individuals with valid claims will be permitted entry. The repatriation comes after a period of frustration, during which an Eritrean man received a temporary stay due to a legal challenge on Tuesday. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood expressed determination to combat “frivolous, last-minute appeals,” asserting her commitment to safeguarding the nation’s borders.
