An Eritrean man has been deported from the UK to France under the government’s ‘one in, one out’ migration agreement, marking the second such removal since the policy was introduced. The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, was escorted by Home Office officials on an Air France flight from Heathrow to Paris. This action follows a failed last-minute court appeal to delay his departure, with the presiding judge ruling there was no legal justification to halt the process. The ‘one in, one out’ scheme, a year-long pilot agreement between the UK and France, aims to deter illegal small boat crossings by returning migrants to France while allowing asylum seekers with strong cases to enter the UK in exchange. The first deportation under this policy involved an Indian national, who was returned to France earlier this month. The Eritrean man, who arrived in the UK via a small boat in August, had claimed to be a victim of human trafficking. However, the judge noted inconsistencies in his account, leading to the decision to proceed with his removal. The Home Office has confirmed that more flights are planned, though ongoing legal challenges may affect their execution. Since the scheme began in August, approximately 5,590 migrants have reached the UK, with around 100 currently detained in immigration removal centers near Heathrow.
