If nobody stops them, then isn't it a simple matter of upon arrival claiming they're in fear for their life from the government of whatever banana republic they came from in order to remain in the U.K. (and not detained) until their status can be looked at.
if they had a valid passport + valid visa, there was no reason for them being arrested in the first place. To avoid deportation many of them seem to lose their IDs, in this case boarding without a valid ID wouldn't be possible.
as for the spitfires and what other nonsense mentioned previously, I suggest to tone down the arrogance.. when you're done building your brexit wall, don't forget to take back your own citizens, many of whom live in exotic places illegally!
