EU citizens in UK get letters telling them post-Brexit residency rights were given ‘in error’
politics
The UK Home Office has begun stripping post-Brexit residency rights from some EU citizens, telling at least a hundred people their status was granted in error. Per the Guardian, this affects those reaching the end of their five-year pre-settled status period and preparing to upgrade to permanent settled status. After years of building lives in Britain, these citizens now face losing their right to remain—raising concerns about whether the Home Office is complying with the UK's withdrawal agreement with Europe.
