Deportation flights hit turbulence
Patel's ‘ruin 1,000 lives by Christmas’ plan blocked
PRITI PATEL’s bid to deport 1,000 Channel crossing asylum-seekers by the end of the year hit another wall today after a judge halted a charter flight to Spain.
The Home Office had planned to deport a group of up to 20 people on Thursday morning who had recently crossed the Channel in small boats.
But a High Court judge ordered the plane grounded over concerns the deportees were at risk of destitution in Spain.
