British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced on Tuesday that the United Kingdom is nearing an agreement with Iraq to deport Iraqi migrants whose asylum applications have been rejected.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Cooper confirmed that talks are ongoing with the Iraqi government and that a deal is expected by the end of the summer to accelerate the repatriation process. The move is part of the UK’s broader strategy to tighten immigration controls and reduce the number of failed asylum seekers residing in the country.
