Britain Plans To Start Flying Refugees To Rwanda Today

A court refused two appeals Monday, clearing the way for Britain to begin implementing the controversial plan to process and resettle people who crossed the English Channel to get to England.

Demonstrators gathered outside Brook House Immigration Removal Center on Saturday, protesting a plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda.

LONDON — The British government planned to proceed on Tuesday with flying immigrants to Rwanda for processing and resettlement, after a court blocked two appeals to the contentious plan on Monday, according to Care4Calais, one of the aid groups involved in the appeal.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government announced in April that it would send some asylum seekers to Rwanda for an initial payment of 120 million pounds, or about $157 million.

The ruling Monday, which was decided by a three-judge panel on the appeals court, came after the High Court failed to pass an injunction against the proposed plan last week.



Lord Justice Rabinder Singh of the Court of Appeal said in a statement that “applications for interim relief in this context must be considered on an individual basis and not a generic basis,” in other words, case by case.
