UK-France deal targeting migrants crossing English Channel is scrapped

Britain's government announced on Wednesday that a pilot program with France aimed at reducing migrant crossings of the English Channel has been scrapped. The Home Office stated that the "one in, one out" deal is no longer processing new cases. This initiative allowed for the detention and return of individuals arriving in the UK via small boats across the Channel. In exchange, an equivalent number of asylum seekers would be sent back to France. The article does not specify the exact date the program began or the reasons for its termination.
