EU citizens in UK get letters telling them post-Brexit residency rights were given ‘in error’

After years of building lives in UK, potentially thousands of EU citizens could be told they have no right to remain

The UK Home Office has started stripping some EU citizens of their post-Brexit residency rights, in a move that has raised concerns about Britain's compliance with its withdrawal agreement with Europe.

The UK internal affairs authority has told at least 100 people that they were given residency rights in error", disrupting their lives just as they come to the end of their five-year pre-settled status" and prepare to upgrade to the permanent settled status".
