Summary
The Guardian reports that Nidia Webb, who is legally settled in the UK, was stranded at a Spanish airport due to the Home Office's digital eVisa system mislinking her identity to her twin. The piece cites a known issue in the eVisa rollout and highlights broader concerns about data accuracy and identity verification in digital immigration. Officials say the problem has been fixed and most cases are resolved within 24 hours, but critics warn of Windrush-style risks and call for stronger safeguards.
