A migrant attempting to avoid deportation to Egypt reportedly swallowed a vape battery, causing a flight cancellation and investigation.Summary
A migrant scheduled for deportation from the UK to Egypt reportedly swallowed a vape battery in an attempt to halt the process. The individual, a foreign national offender, was due to be on a private plane when the incident occurred, leading to his hospitalization and the subsequent cancellation of the deportation flight. Mitie, the contractor managing overseas deportations for the Home Office, is investigating the incident but currently sees no evidence of wrongdoing. This event follows a separate case in October where a policing minister defended giving £500 to a migrant sex offender to avoid disruption of his deportation, citing the higher cost of re-arrest and custody.
