Thousands of deported migrants found back in UK
New figures reveal that nearly 4,300 people who were previously removed from the UK have been found back in the country between 2021 and 2025. Some individuals were deported multiple times, with Albanians making up over a third of these re-entry cases. This development prompts an examination of the efficacy of the UK's expensive deportation arrangements, which incur a cost of approximately £48,800 for each enforced repatriation.
