Mahmood’s cutting of protections for UK-France ‘one in, one out’ asylum deal ruled unlawful

NEWS SUMMARY

A UK high court judge ruled Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's decision to reduce protections for potential trafficking victims under the "one in, one out" asylum deal unlawful. The ruling, which found the amended guidance preventing reconsideration of negative trafficking decisions unlawful, is expected to have significant implications for asylum seekers removed to France and prompts calls for those already sent back to be returned to the UK.
