The first Channel migrants are expected to be deported today under Sir Keir Starmer‘s “one in, one out” deal with France.
The asylum seekers are due to be sent back on a commercial Air France flight, barring any last-minute legal challenges, The Times reported.
Dozens of migrants will reportedly be removed this week under the agreement.
It comes as the number of people arriving in the UK after crossing the English Channel has topped 30,000 for the year so far.
The “one in, one out” pilot scheme will see the UK send back migrants who have made the dangerous journey in exchange for those who apply and are approved to come to Britain.
