As part of the government’s controversial policy, 31 people were detained on Tuesday’s flight to the East African country. On Saturday, 15 canceled their tickets. According to Care4Calais, a charity that helps this group, the 15 asylum seekers will now remain in the UK as there are indications that they have been tortured, trafficked or have a medical condition that makes deportation dangerous. Care4Calais expressed concern that if they did not intervene, most of these asylum seekers would have been transferred to Rwanda. A Supreme Court ruling on Friday paved the way for a flight on Tuesday – but an appeal against that ruling is set to be heard on Monday. Immigration policy has been sharply criticized by various groups, with even the Prince of Wales being described as “more than disappointed” by it, amid reports that he has privately described the move to send migrants to Rwanda as “disgusting”. The Interior Ministry plans to schedule more flights after departure on Tuesday. As many as 130 people have been notified that they could be sent to Rwanda, and Care4Calais said they have met minors who say they have been served with such deportation notices. The Prince of Wales reportedly made private comments criticizing Credit: Hugh Hastings / PA policy The head of the Public Service and Commercial Union (PCS), which accounts for more than 80% of Border Guard personnel, said the “legitimacy of these proposals” needed to be tested, but added that there was also a need to discuss “ethics and the lack of humanity displayed by the government ”with its approach. The first anti-policy claim was made by lawyers on behalf of a number of asylum seekers along with PCS, as well as Care4Calais and Detention Action groups, who are challenging the policy on behalf of all those affected. Justice Swift on Friday decided not to grant a temporary injunction to the insurance company until a full hearing next month, but gave the plaintiffs permission to appeal his decision, suggesting that the Court of Appeals judges will hear the case on Monday. PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka told Sky’s Sophy Ridge On Sunday program: “We hope to win tomorrow in the Court of Appeals to stop the flight (on Tuesday). “But, of course, the legitimacy of these proposals will only be tested at the full court hearing in July. “We are absolutely certain that in July, according to what the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in court, we believe that these proposals will be considered illegal.” Do you want a quick and specific update on the biggest news?

Later Sunday, dozens of activists gathered near the Brook House Immigration Center in Sussex to protest the deportations. Many carried placards, some saying “it is inhuman”, “we stand with you” and “stop the Rwandan flight”. Northern Ireland Secretary of State Brandon Lewis has defended the government’s policy, saying it aims to “break” the “business model” of traffickers. He added that it would not be “appropriate” to comment on the “rumored” criticism by Charles. A Clarence House spokesman insisted that Charles “remains politically neutral”, adding that “policy issues are decisions for the government”.
