Asylum seekers are set to be deported for the first time since coronavirus took hold in the UK, prompting concerns that the Home Office is “playing politics with public health”. Trainee solicitor Lily Parrott is representing one man who is scheduled to be on a charter flight to France after he arrived in the UK in May, crossing the Channel in a small boat from Calais. Lily comments; “These asylum seekers risk facing destitution and homelessness. Further, we have not been assured that the people being removed are being done so lawfully or that the Home Office has checked whether they are at high risk from Covid-19.”
