UK court halts removal of asylum seekers in France deal
An asylum seeker who came to the United Kingdom on a small boat cannot be removed to France, which expects full legal difficulties, the London Supreme Court decided the British government’s plan to return such immigrants with an early setback.
The 25 -year -old Eritrean man, who came to England on August 12, won a temporary precautionary decision that prevented the abolition of a “One Out” pilot plan announced by the United Kingdom and France in July.
Judge Clive Sheldon said that the man’s claim to be a victim of human trafficking is a “serious problem to be tried” about whether it prevented the removal of France.
Tuesday’s decision is a blow to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who faced pressure pressure to stop the asylum seekers from France, which is a route where more than 30,000 people have come so far in 2025.
Migration has become a major political issue in the UK and overshadowed concerns about a weakening economy because the country was faced with a record number of asylum.
Within the scope of the program, France agreed to accept people who came to England by small boats who accepted an equal number of legitimate asylum seekers to England.
The proposal is an important part of Britain’s plans to reduce illegal migration and Nigel Farage’s plans to fight the populist reform of the UK party, which manages the opinion of the opinion because Starmer’s approval grade has fallen since last year has won an election landslide.
Sonali Naik, a lawyer representing the asylum seeker, told the court that his client was a victim of a human trafficking victim who should be identified before any planned abolition.
However, lawyers representing the British Ministry of Interior emphasized the important goals of the British-France agreement, which they discussed in court applications.
Kate Grange, one of the lawyers representing the Ministry of Interior, said that in this case, others can bring similar difficulties to the removal of a delay to France.
However, Sheldon said that the asylum seeker should have more information about the claim that he was a victim of human trade before heard more legal arguments.
