UK Sets a Date for Rwanda Deportation Flights
A UK lawyer has announced that the UK is set to begin deportation flights of illegal migrants to Rwanda on July 24th; the first concrete date for flights that the UK has produced. This announcement comes after continual delays of the flights. Until a week and a half ago, flights were set to begin in late June. However, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that flights would not begin until after the UK's election, without offering an explanation as to why flights had been delayed.
