Illegal migrants due to be flown to Rwanda could be released if activists win court bid

ILLEGAL migrants due to be flown to Rwanda could be released on tags if activists win a High Court bid today.

Left-wing groups and unions have teamed up to stop Tuesday’s flight.

They want a review of the plan to send asylum seekers to Africa as a deterrent.

Afghans fleeing the Taliban are among those expected on the flights.

They could be tagged pending the row.

Home Secretary Priti Patel has told her team to work around the clock to halt the legal bid.

But insiders reckon there is little chance they will.

A civil servant yesterday wrote on new Twitter account Our Home Office that they were ashamed to work for the Government.

One hit back: “I hope you are all dismissed.”
