Home Office sued over revocation of residency rights for nearly 1,500 EU citizens
Source Summary
Campaign group the3million has filed a high court lawsuit against the UK Home Office, alleging breach of the Brexit withdrawal agreement after the agency revoked pre-settled status for nearly 1,500 EU citizens. The affected individuals were initially granted permission to remain in the UK but were recently told those decisions were an 'error'. The lawsuit challenges the Home Office's authority to strip these residency rights.
Why it matters
The lawsuit raises questions about the Home Office's implementation of post-Brexit residency rules and whether nearly 1,500 EU citizens face removal from the UK despite earlier official approval.
What remains uncertain
The outcome of the high court lawsuit and whether the Home Office's revocation decisions will be overturned remain unresolved.
