Migrants win High Court battle against one-in, one-out deal in massive blow to Mahmood scheme

The UK's High Court ruled that the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's 'one-in, one-out' immigration policy violated migrants' fundamental rights by removing their ability to appeal deportation decisions. Five Channel migrants, including four from Eritrea and one from Sudan, successfully argued that the government's actions were unlawful, allowing them to continue their legal challenges. The court criticized the Home Office for making decisions that prioritized expedience over due process, undermining the effectiveness of the deportation system. This ruling could lead to more asylum seekers challenging their removal under the same policy. The Home Office has vowed to appeal the decision, while Labour critics argue the policy is a failure and warn that the situation may worsen without stricter border controls.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the ruling as a significant setback for the Home Secretary's immigration crackdown, emphasizing the legal rights of migrants and criticizing the government's approach as rushed and ineffective.
