Welcome to the weekly Free Motion e-newsletter!
What per week. After calling an election for 4 July, the Prime Minister mentioned that no flights to Rwanda would take off earlier than the election. There is no such thing as a motive to imagine that we’ll have something apart from a Labour authorities following that election they usually have already rightly mentioned that they will not send anyone to Rwanda. It’s due to this fact not doable to say that removing to Rwanda is in any approach imminent in the intervening time, but the House Workplace has been unlawfully sustaining detention and as ever it has been left to lawyers to get people released (and hopefully, to pursue damages claims).
It is a vital reminder that the coverage continues to be (technically) alive and on the books, which implies that the related challenges are additionally persevering with. The FDA’s judicial assessment continues to be listed for subsequent week so far as I’m conscious, and an expedited timetable has been ordered in Asylum Help’s case.
Elsewhere, the House Workplace continues to do what it does finest – telling a one year old born in the UK that she can’t swap from a customer visa to a toddler dependent visa throughout the UK so as to “maintain the integrity of the immigration laws”.
Oh, and for anybody who missed it – guess who’s back? (it’s David Bolt).

On the weblog, I took a day trip from the seashore to put in writing up the latest quarterly statistics.
