France and England strengthen migrant deal, expel those who return illegally

Britain and France have decided to change the agreement known as "one in, one out", after the discovery of a loophole that allowed deported migrants to return to the United Kingdom.
According to British media, human traffickers have used the trucks to return to Britain migrants who had previously been deported to France under this agreement.
To end this practice, British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and her French counterpart Laurent Nuñez have agreed that any migrant deported to France who returns illegally to Britain can be sent back to French territory, regardless of the method of entry.
The British Home Office has also created a new category called "return case", with the aim of identifying and repatriating people who attempt to circumvent the agreement.
Since the treaty came into force on August 6 last year, Britain has returned to France 921 migrants who arrived in small boats across the English Channel, while accepting 896 asylum seekers from France under the reciprocal system.
The "one in, one out" agreement, signed last year by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, stipulates that for every illegal immigrant returned to France, Britain will accept an asylum seeker who is on French territory and has not attempted to cross the border illegally.
British authorities say the scheme has helped reduce the number of migrants crossing the Channel, and the two countries have decided to extend the agreement until October 1. In April, London and Paris also announced a new £662 million cooperation package to combat illegal immigration and human trafficking networks.
