Read our privacy policy The Home Office is pressing ahead with the deportation of asylum seekers who have recently arrived to the UK in small boats, despite mounting concern about the safety and legitimacy of carrying out removals at a time when coronavirus rates across Europe are rising. Among the receiving countries are France, which is set to introduce quarantine measures for people arriving from the UK within days, and Germany, which recorded its biggest daily increase in coronavirus cases last week. Where is the leadership and moral courage?“ Toufique Hossain, director of Public Law at Duncan Lewis Solicitors, called on the government to “urgently review” its removal plans under the Dublin Regulations, adding: “Many of those who Priti Patel is so desperate to return have legitimate reasons to stay in the UK.” Minister Nick Gibb says boats could be used to block Channel migrants More than 4,000 migrants have crossed the English Channel in small boats so far this year, including more than 1,200 in August alone – compared to 2,758 in the whole of 2019. Immigration lawyers and charities have urged that in order to reduce the number of people making risky sea journeys, the government must create safe and legal routes to the UK for asylum seekers.
