UK deports Indian national under new illegal immigration policy for the first time
The UK has taken a significant step in its efforts to control illegal immigration, as an Indian national was deported from the country to France under a new treaty. The individual was deported on a commercial flight from Heathrow Airport on Thursday.
The deportation is part of a UK-France returns treaty known as the "one-in, one-out" deal. This agreement aims to tackle the issue of illegal immigration, with both countries committing to returning individuals who enter their territories unlawfully.
The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, described the deportation as an "important first step" in the government's attempt to control illegal migration. The move comes as the number of Indian nationals in detention due to the UK's crackdown on illegal immigration has almost doubled in the past year, up 108%. In August alone, 2,715 Indians were logged as being in detention under the UK's immigration law breach.
The man arrived in the UK illegally on a small boat across the English Channel. If he does not take up the voluntary scheme, he could face enforced deportation. After the deportation, he is expected to be offered a paid-for voluntary return to India.
However, the deported individual has not been identified by name in the provided search results. It is unclear at this time whether he has accepted the offer for a voluntary return to France.
This action underscores the UK's commitment to enforcing its immigration laws and working closely with other countries to address the issue of illegal immigration. The government continues to work towards creating a fair and effective immigration system that benefits both the UK and its citizens.
