The Home Office is facing legal action over a controversial policy to strip EU citizens who were in the UK before Brexit of their residency rights on the grounds that it gave them the status “in error”.
It comes as a Home Office minister revealed that the government has contacted 1,473 citizens with post-Brexit residency rights to tell them the original decision to grant them residency was made in error.
