High Court to hear second legal challenge against Home Office’s Rwanda deportation plans

A SECOND legal challenge against the Home Office’s plans to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda will be heard in the High Court this week.
The judicial review, brought by charity Asylum Aid, comes a month after a separate legal action against the policy was heard, which focused on challenging the Home Office’s assessment of Rwanda as a safe third country.
The latest action, starting on Thursday, centres instead on the legality of the procedure used by the Home Office to identify and assess people for removal to the east African country.
