Home Office sued after stripping almost 1,500 EU citizens of right to live in UK

The Home Office faces legal action for allegedly violating the Brexit withdrawal agreement by revoking rights from nearly 1,500 EU citizens with pre-settled status. The campaign group the3million filed a lawsuit claiming the Home Office's actions lacked necessary procedural protections, such as the right to appeal. Affected individuals include a Brazilian Italian engineer and an NHS worker, both of whom experienced significant disruptions due to the Home Office's decisions. The lawsuit seeks to declare the Home Office's policy unlawful and to ensure proper due process for EU citizens. This is not the first legal challenge against the Home Office regarding its handling of EU citizens' rights post-Brexit.
