‘Illegal’ kick-out flights restarted
THE government resumed illegal deportations of asylum-seekers on chartered flights last night after the Home Office ordered people to be sent to countries they did not come from.
Migrant support service the Unity Centre sounded the alarm after private charter jet company Titan Airways was scheduled to deport dozens of migrants on a late-night flight from Stansted airport.
According to the Unity Centre, at least two of the people marked for deportation would be sent to African countries they have no connection to and no means of leaving.
