The UK government has deported 44 Nigerians and Ghanaians in a single flight, marking a significant increase in immigration enforcement activities.
This deportation occurred on October 18 indicating that such flights are relatively rare, having only seen four similar flights since 2020.
The Home Office confirmed a major surge in deportations, stating over 3,600 individuals were returned in the first two months of the new government. The recent flight comes amid changes to UK asylum policies, including a deal regarding the Chagos Islands. Advocates have expressed shock at the rapid deportations, emphasizing that many affected individuals had not committed crimes warranting such treatment.
