I mean who knows if this is true or not, but you’ve got to admit it’s grimly plausible that if the Rwanda scheme does start, a future Labour govt would find reasons why it was not only inconvenient but somehow morally wrong to suspend it

I guess you might regard someone not actually being “deported” (bc paid to go voluntarily) as a “milestone” for a “deportation scheme” if your main concern was breathlessly propagandising for the Tories

🚨Reports indicate the Home Office is detaining asylum seekers with plans to send them to Rwanda.

While only a few will be sent due to limited capacity, there's still a risk for many.

Read our explainer on who's at risk and how can you receive help 👇🏽

Media: Please don’t do this. People are genuinely terrified to report. Don’t ask people for comments going in and out of reporting centres. Leave them be. Go to established refugee organisations. You’re potentially putting people at greater risk.

PSA: this isn't evidence of the Rwanda scheme or anything else working, but of the collapse of the international consensus on protecting refugees.

Imagine if every state did this - it's a charter for torturers & traffickers.

Imagine being proud of that.

There is Safety of Rwanda guidance published today, with key information on making claims based on an individual's particular circumstances.

Messages from frontline asylum charities wondering what to do in face of gov claiming start of asylum arrests tomorrow:

1. People are frightened, be careful not to allow our fear to spread further to them. Be calm. Remember your role is to listen, present options, don’t direct.

Make no mistake, this latest attack on refugees by this government will further traumatise people who have fled from torture chambers.
