First Failed Asylum Seeker Is Removed To Rwanda

The unnamed migrant - who is African origin - left the UK on Monday evening, the Sun reports.After his bid to stay in Britain was rejected at the end of 2023, the man voluntarily accepted passage to a new life in Rwanda. LBC believes the voluntary deportation did not fall under the government's new landmark deportation laws.He was sent on a commercial flight and given around £3,000 of taxpayer money to help relocate under the terms of a deal with Rwanda.
