Sentencing BillContribution
The Illegal Migration Act 2023 was disapplied because it diminished asylum rights, as protected by EU law. The Dillon case makes it clear that it is the same logic that provisions applied by article 2 can trump this House. How does that apply to the deportation of foreign criminals? If that foreign criminal is an EU national, they already have the EU citizens’ rights directive, which gives them enhanced protection against deportation.
