Britain on Wednesday pledged to fight what it called \u201cvexatious, last-minute claims\u201d used to block or delay the deportation of migrants, a day after a court temporarily\u00a0blocked\u00a0an asylum seeker who arrived on a small boat being sent to France.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will fight to end vexatious, last-minute claims. I will robustly defend the British public\u2019s priorities in any court. And I will do whatever it takes to secure our border,\u201d interior minister Shabana Mahmood said in a statement.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday a 25-year-old Eritrean man, who arrived in Britain on August 12, won an interim injunction at London\u2019s High Court that prevented his removal on a flight to France under a \u201cone in, one out\u201d pilot scheme announced by Britain and France in July.<\/p>\n

Judge Clive Sheldon had said there was a \u201cserious issue to be tried\u201d in relation to whether the man\u2019s claim to be a victim of trafficking prevented his removal to France.<\/p>\n

Mahmood said: \u201cMigrants suddenly deciding that they are a modern slave on the eve of their removal, having never made such a claim before, make a mockery of our laws and this country\u2019s generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court ruling came with Prime Minister Keir Starmer\u2019s government facing mounting pressure to stop small boats taking asylum seekers across the Channel from Europe, a route by which more than 30,000 people have come so far in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
