The Home Secretary has admitted to LBC that thousands of 'missing' migrants who have been told they will be sent to Rwanda have not been assessed based on their threat level to the public. The Home Office identified 5,700 migrants for the first set of flights to Rwanda later this year.However, according to their figures, as of April, only 2,145 people have continued to report to the Home Office since the legislation was passed.
Reports have emerged that migrants are choosing to cross over the border from Northern Ireland to the Republic since the government passed its plan to send asylum seekers who arrived illegally to Rwanda.And a Syrian asylum seeker told LBC's Tom Swarbrick earlier this week that migrants are choosing to return to France from the UK to avoid being sent to the east African country.
