THE first deportation flights to Rwanda could be delayed until at least September after a legal action challenging the policy next week was adjourned. 

Campaigners today welcomed the High Court’s decision to postpone their judicial review over the legality of the scheme.

Home Secretary Priti Patel had vowed to press on with a second flight despite the ongoing legal challenge, which was due to be heard next Tuesday but has been postponed to September 5.
