EXC: Home Office forced to abandon deportation flight to Spain today for Channel migrants after all 23 were sprung by three law firms: thesun.co.uk/news/politics/…
A Whitehall source said "there was 100 per cent legal attrition rate on the flight due to unprecedented and organised casework barriers sprung on the government by three law firms."
HO: "efforts to facilitate entirely legitimate and legal returns of people who have entered the U.K. through illegal routes are too often frustrated by last minute challenges submitted hours before a scheduled flight."
Spokesman adds: "These claims are very often baseless and entirely without merit, but are given full legal consideration, leading to removal being rescheduled." thesun.co.uk/news/politics/…
