The Home Office is to lodge an appeal on Thursday against a High Court decision temporarily blocking the deportation of an Eritrean man under the UK-France migrants returns deal.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said she would fight “last-minute claims” delaying the Government’s plans to remove some cross-Channel asylum seekers under the “one in, one out” agreement with Paris.
