The UK government has initiated a policy to deport failed asylum seekers to Rwanda under a voluntary scheme. The first migrant was sent to Rwanda after being paid £3,000, with more detainees being prepared for deportation. Protests have erupted, with some detainees detained and released later. The government aims to deter illegal crossings, with over 700 migrants arriving in a single day. Rishi Sunak offered Ireland to join the Rwanda scheme amidst a row over asylum seekers.
