Rwanda is currently a country you can claim asylum to the UK from. So technically, the government could deport someone to Rwanda (at a current cost of over 175,000 per migrant) and then they could claim asylum and come straight back to the UK.
This is a plan that Boris Johnson came up with and Rishi Sunak, who was Chancellor at the time, disagreed with it as it is a massive waste of money. But now he's being forced into it by the hard right of the Conservative party who are desperate to avoid getting voted out at the next election. Current polls predict a Labour landslide, possibly even bigger than 1997.
I can't see a single plane taking off before the election due to all the legal challenges. So this is a massive waste of money that could be better spent on literally anything else.
