First migrants arrive in UK from France under 'one in one out' deal
Published: 9/24/2025

The UK receives its first migrants from France under the "one in, one out" deal, with the family of three granted three-month visas but no right to work or public funding. The agreement aims to discourage illegal crossings over the English Channel and tackle human smuggling networks, although critics argue it lacks effectiveness. Despite facing criticism, the pilot scheme seeks to address the issue of dangerous sea journeys by providing legitimate pathways for asylum seekers.
