The first migrants have been detained under the UK’s new "one in, one out" deportation deal with France after crossing the English Channel.
Pictures showed the migrants wearing life jackets disembarking from Border Force boats in Dover on Wednesday, the first day the pilot scheme came into force.
The latest Home Office figures reveal 155 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel on Wednesday.
The government earlier said those detained will be held in immigration removal centres until they are returned to France.
As of 30 July, more than 25,000 people had crossed the Channel in small boats in 2025 – about 49% higher than at the same point in 2024.
