"Ministers are set to remove post-Brexit residency rights from EU citizens who are no longer continuously living in the UK, a move legal under the 2020 Brexit withdrawal agreement."
"The Home Office stated that the crackdown is aimed at those who received pre-settled status, which applies to individuals who have been in the UK for less than five years."
"Concerns have been raised regarding the use of travel data to determine absences, especially following the HMRC fiasco that stripped nearly 20,000 parents of child benefits due to inaccurate data."
"The Independent Monitoring Authority for the Citizens' Rights Agreements expressed concerns to the Home Office about the removals and their implications for EU citizens."
The UK government will begin revoking post-Brexit residency rights for EU citizens who have not continuously lived in the UK. This action is legal under the 2020 Brexit withdrawal agreement. Concerns have arisen regarding the use of travel data to determine absences, especially following past inaccuracies that affected many parents. The crackdown targets those with pre-settled status who have been absent for over five years, with safeguards in place. The Home Office claims this measure is necessary to protect public services and prevent unlawful immigration.
