Asylum seekers still being sent to France under ‘one in one out’ weeks after scheme ended
Despite the end of the controversial "one in, one out" asylum scheme, the UK Home Office continues to deport asylum seekers to France. The scheme, aimed at deterring small boat crossings, has faced criticism for failing to achieve its goals and for the suffering it caused to vulnerable individuals. Reports indicate that some asylum seekers returned to the UK shortly after being sent to France, citing abuse and violence from smugglers. The financial cost of the scheme has been significant, with millions spent on deportations. Critics argue that the government should focus on creating safe routes for asylum claims instead of punitive measures.
