The United Kingdom‘s Labour-led government has found itself listless in efforts to deport illegal migrants entering the country as courts block planned deportations.

Judge Clive Sheldon of the London High Court blocked the deportation of a 25-year-old foreign national from Eritrea, which is in eastern Africa, on Wednesday, preventing him from being sent back to France. The judge ruled that the unnamed immigrant’s claim of being a trafficking victim warranted further investigation.
