The UK has detained its first group of migrants under a new "one in, one out" agreement with France, which started on Wednesday. The policy, now in its pilot phase, aims to manage migrant arrivals in Dover by ensuring that for every person detained, another is processed for return.
Editor’s Note: This story highlights the UK's ongoing struggle with migration and its efforts to tighten border controls. The new deal with France is controversial—some see it as a necessary step to manage arrivals, while others argue it could worsen conditions for asylum seekers. Either way, it signals a tougher stance on immigration.
