The ground of refusal of readmission by France that the Times article whines about is simply taken from the Schengen Borders Code. Another variation on the Brexity trope that only the UK can legitimately have border controls.
Just the supposed ‘paper of record’ bemoaning the fact that asylum seekers have *human* rights and may be able to enforce them. Accompanied - ultra cynically - by a photo of Human Rights lawyer, Amal Clooney, at a glamorous fundraiser. What a sly and deeply unpleasant rag The Times now is.

But it’s okay for those who violently ransacked the Capitol to go free.
Senator John Cornyn of Texas asked the FBI to arrest Democratic lawmakers who left the state to block the Legislature from voting on a Republican redistricting plan. The new map would give the GOP a significant advantage in five districts now held by Democrats.
California Democrats Look to Redraw House Map Amid Texas Redistricting War
It was unclear how the agency would respond. Democratic lawmakers left the state to stop Republicans from redrawing district maps to their advantage.
