Second migrant removed to France after legal challenge fails
An Eritrean migrant has been deported from the UK to France as part of the "one in, one out" deal, following a failed court bid to delay the removal. This marks the second removal under the agreement aimed at discouraging small boat crossings. The Eritrean man, who arrived in England on a small boat in August, had argued he may have been trafficked, but the court ruled against delaying his deportation. This move is part of efforts to combat illegal crossings and deter individuals from relying on smugglers.
