to (one of) the islands of their birth, & ONE DAY later, a British patrol boat docks & presents a document ordering them to leave or face jail or a fine
You cannot make this up
Why has this patrol NOT been patrolling Dover? |  | | |  |

'In a bid to heal past wounds, Mauritius will manage a trust fund for Chagossians, allowing them to resettle on two of the Chagos Islands – Salomon and Peros Banhos. But the islanders, some with roots on the territory stretching back to the 18th century, were locked out of the interstate talks. And, as Baptiste describes it, local families have been torn apart by rows over whether they should accept Mauritian sovereignty over their homeland.' |  |

Ok, so there's this group of islands collectively called the Chagos Islands & the people who lived there are known as Chagos Islanders
...but they were forced off their islands against their will & had to go & live somewhere else
A small group of these Chagos Islanders have returned & want to resettle in their home land
(With that avatar you've gone with, I'm sure you're with me so far)
A British patrol boat has told them they must leave their island or go to jail or be fined
Again, you literally cannot make it up
Should that boat not have been patrolling our own English Channel waters all this time, rather than the Chagos Islands? | | | |

I know our Navy and other armed forces have been shrunk to a pitiful size by successive negligent governments but are you suggesting we only have one patrol boat? |  |

It's more complicated than that (as the link I posted might help you to understand if you read it.) This has just this minute popped up on the BBC news:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/art
'"Do not give away Diego Garcia," US President Donald Trump has said as he criticised the UK's plan to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius and lease back an important military base...Trump said "this land should not be taken away from the U.K." and if it did it would be "a blight on our Great Ally", in a post on social media...This comes despite Washington on Tuesday giving its official backing to London's plan to cede sovereignty of the British Indian Ocean Territory to Mauritius...And referring to ongoing US-Iran talks on Tehran's controversial nuclear programme, Trump said: "Should Iran decide not to make a Deal, it may be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia... in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous Regime."' | |
