Judge refuses to grant interim relief after lawyers for asylum seekers argued policy was unlawful
A high court judge has ruled that a controversial deportation flight to Rwanda that was due to take off early next week can go ahead.
Mr Justice Swift refused to grant interim relief – urgent action in response to an injunction application made by four asylum seekers facing offshoring to Rwanda along with the charities Care4Calais and Detention Action and the civil servants union PCS, which represents many Home Office workers, including more than 80% of Border Force staff.
