The UK has initiated operations to detain migrants for deportation to Rwanda under a voluntary scheme separate from forced deportations. More than 7,500 migrants arrived in England via small boats from France this year. The first failed asylum seeker voluntarily traveled to Rwanda after being paid £3,000. Opposition accuses the government of using the move for political gain. Downing Street offered Ireland the chance to join the Rwanda scheme amid a migrant crisis. Detained asylum seekers were given a booklet describing Rwanda as 'generally safe.'
