The first asylum seeker has been deported to Rwanda under Rishi Sunak’s migrant crackdown, marking a significant development in the government’s efforts to manage immigration.
The individual, whose identity remains undisclosed, was flown out of the UK yesterday evening and arrived in Kigali, Rwanda’s capital. In line with the terms of the agreement between the UK and Rwanda, the individual received around £3,000 in financial assistance from British taxpayers to facilitate their relocation.
