UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd stepped down today because she "inadvertently misled" a government committee about deportation quotas for immigrants.
Rudd, who was due to make a Commons statement tomorrow, was under pressure to quit over the Windrush scandal.
She faced criticism over the existence of Home Office removals, targets and her knowledge of them.
Rudd telephoned the Prime Minister, Theresa May today to tell her of the decision amid intensifying opposition demands for her to quit.
A spokesman said The Prime Minister has tonight accepted the resignation of the Home Secretary.
