According to the Daily Telegraph, one migrant who was due to be flown from Heathrow to Paris on Monday night had their flight postponed, amid the threat of legal action.
The Times also reported that last-minute legal challenges by lawyers acting on behalf of several migrants due to be deported this week had seen their removal delayed.
A Government source said the first deportation flights under the deal with France are expected to take place this week, the Press Association reported.
The French are reported to have said they will only be accepting a small initial contingent of deportations.
The pilot scheme will see the UK send back to France asylum seekers who have crossed the Channel, in exchange for those who apply and are approved to come to Britain.
The number of migrants arriving in the UK after crossing the English Channel has topped 30,000 for the year so far.
It is the earliest point in a calendar year at which the 30,000 mark has been passed since data on the crossings was first reported in 2018.
