Judge rules parts of UK's Illegal Migration Act inapplicable in Northern Ireland due to human rights breaches.
A judge has ruled that large parts of the UK's Illegal Migration Act should not apply in Northern Ireland, as they breach human rights laws, including the Windsor Framework and European Convention on Human Rights. The Act, which provides new powers to detain and remove asylum seekers, is deemed incompatible with Northern Ireland's human rights protections under post-Brexit arrangements.
