Mahmood vows to fight 'last-minute claims' against migrant deportations

Home Secretary Mahmood vows to combat ‘last-minute claims’ hindering migrant deportations, after a High Court decision temporarily halted the deportation of an Eritrean man under the UK-France migrants returns deal. The man, a recent arrival in the UK by boat, argued he was a victim of modern slavery, delaying his removal scheduled for Wednesday. The 'one in, one out' pilot scheme aims to deter small boat crossings, as the Home Office plans to challenge the court's decision and review the Modern Slavery Act to prevent misuse of claims by migrants facing deportation.
