Angry UK Deal With France Migrant Fight Grounded by UK High Court

One In, One OUT Deal With France Migrant Fight Grounded by High Court

Keir Starmer agreed his one in, one out migrant deal with Emmanuel Macron in July is DEAD


Starmers migrant deal was dealt a major blow on Tuesday after the High Court blocked the deportation of an asylum seeker to France...


BBC 17 SEP 2025










An Eritrean man who arrived in the UK by small boat has won a last minute legal claim to temporarily block his removal to France. He was due to be returned on Wednesday under the returns pilot scheme agreed in July between the UK and France.


In the first legal challenge against the deal, in the High Court in London, his lawyers argued he needed more time to present evidence that he might have been the victim of modern day slavery and the decision to remove him had been rushed.

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood was determined to make sure it worked. The injunction raises serious questions about whether other migrants allocated to flights will use the same grounds to delay or block their removal.

Lawyers for the Home Office had argued that he could have claimed asylum in France. They added that delaying his departure could encourage others allocated to the return flights this week to make similar claims, and undermine the public interest in deterring lethal small boat crossings.









Mr Justice Sheldon, who rejected the mans claim that he would be left homeless and destitute in France, said that he would nevertheless have to temporarily block the mans departure in light of that development.

There is a serious issue to be tried in relation to the trafficking claim and whether or not the Secretary of State has carried out her investigatory duties in a lawful manner, he said.
