Sudanese boat arrivals to face deportation: UK home secretaryLONDON: Refugees fleeing the violence in Sudan who arrive in Britain via small boats will face deportation, The Independent reported the home secretary as saying. Suella Braverman warned that the government’s Illegal Migration Bill permits the detainment and deportation of those crossing the English Channel from mainland Europe using small vessels. Since 2020, amid worsening conditions in Sudan, almost 4,000 Sudanese have crossed into Britain using small boats. The number of Sudanese people arriving via this method will likely increase in the coming period, UK Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick warned this week. But the chaos in the capital Khartoum means it is unlikely that would-be asylum applicants could fly out of the country to Britain.
