Head of union representing 80% of Border Force staff says policy is yet to be fully tested in courts
Asylum seekers should not be deported to Rwanda before the policy has been fully tested in the courts, a union leader has said, predicting the first removal flight will not take place this week as planned.
An initial deportation flight under the plan – to remove people who arrive in the UK via unofficial routes to the east African country – is due on Tuesday after a high court judge ruled last Friday that it could go ahead.
