The first asylum seeker has been deported to Rwanda under Rishi Sunak's migrant crackdown.
The migrant, whose name is unknown, was flown out of the UK yesterday evening and arrived in Kigali.
He was put on a commercial flight and given around £3,000 from the British taxpayer to help relocate under the terms of a deal with Rwanda.

The man's attempt to stay in Britain was rejected at the end of 2023, before he accepted the offer to start a new life in the central African nation.
