Home Secretary Amber Rudd has resigned, Downing Street has said, after claims she misled Parliament over targets for removing illegal migrants.
Ms Rudd, who was due to make a Commons statement on Monday, was under pressure to resign over the Windrush scandal.
She faced criticism over the existence of Home Office removals targets and her knowledge of them.
Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott, who had repeatedly urged Ms Rudd to go, said she had "done the right thing".
On Sunday, the Guardian published a letter to Theresa May, in which Ms Rudd set out her "ambitious but deliverable" aim to deport 10% more illegal immigrants over the "next few years."
Ms Rudd telephoned the prime minister on Sunday evening to tell her of the decision amid intensifying opposition demands for her to quit.
A No 10 spokesman said: "The Prime Minister has tonight accepted the resignation of the Home Secretary."
