"The first migrant deportation flight for just one asylum seeker was cancelled at the last minute after charities threatened legal action, The Telegraph reported. Sir Keir Starmer's so-called "one in, one out" deal is now in doubt, it is believed the Home Office will try and place the migrant on another Air France flight on Tuesday. However, the second migrant flight left with non on board after human rights lawyers were able to have him removed before take-off."
"A total of 31,026 illegal migrants has crossed the English Channel so far this year on small boats. It is believed that at most 10 people will be on each flight and Air France is receiving a high number of calls, emails and messages on social media asking the airline "not to agree to collaborate with the interior ministry and not to agree to deport these people on these flights.""
An initial deportation flight carrying a single asylum seeker was cancelled after charities threatened legal action, and a subsequent flight departed with no migrants after human rights lawyers secured a removal. More than 31,000 illegal migrants have crossed the Channel this year, and plans propose up to ten people per deportation flight. Air France is receiving significant public pressure not to cooperate with deportations. The bilateral one-in, one-out arrangement is described as experimental with a break clause, while opposition Conservatives condemn the plan and call for repeal of the Human Rights Act for immigration matters.
