Home Office says Rwanda migrant detentions will start within weeks
The Home Office has confirmed it will start detaining asylum-seekers within weeks for the first planned flights to Rwanda – after reports of a surprise move to round up people for deportation from Monday sparked anger from human rights groups.
Rishi Sunak insisted this week that flights carrying asylum-seekers to Rwanda would take off in July, as the Rwanda Bill passed through parliament and into law.
Despite still facing a host of difficulties in delivering on his flagship policy, Mr Sunak will be keen to show progresson his leadership.
