The UK expects to deport 5,700 migrants to Rwanda this year, a senior minister said Tuesday, after the government published new details on the controversial plan.
The figures come days after the scheme aimed at deterring migrant arrivals on small boats from northern Europe became law following months of parliamentary wrangling.
Rwanda has "in principle" agreed to accept 5,700 migrants already in the UK, the interior ministry revealed late Monday.
Of those, 2,143 "can be located for detention" before being flown there, it added.
Law enforcement agencies will find the remainder, Health Secretary Victoria Atkins said Tuesday when asked about the 5,700 earmarked for deportation.
"The expectation is that we remove that group of people... by the end of the year," she told Sky News television.
"If somebody doesn't report as they should do... They will be found."

Their president is pocketing a nice few bucks dont worry about that.
Sunak is saying others will copy this policy. He calls them “third party country agreements”
A very small token !
Why would Rwanda agree to this scheme? Follow the money, as usual.
From the link below:
“If more than 300 people are sent to Rwanda, the UK would pay a one-off sum of £120m to help boost the country’s economy, with further payments of £20,000 per individual relocated.
On top of that, up to £150,000 will be paid for each person sent there, the NAO report said.”

Drop meet bucket...

Right. The Tories are far behind in every UK election poll. And they know it. So this looks to me as just an attempt to shore up some support.
My fearless prediction: It won’t work. Labour will crush the Tories in the next general election (which must be held by January 2025 at the latest).
The only question: Will the new Labour government quietly let all those booted out back in?
The UK has the same problem we do.
The letter after the name means bugger all any more.
The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
A UK pol is either loyal to their former constitutional monarchy or to its Deep State.
And the vast majority of the UK’s pols are Deep State.
Why aren’t they deporting them now?
5700 is a drop in the bucket.
wow, only one million left to go.
Yes. I noticed they can only get half of them, and they have to surrender voluntarily or...they will be found.
Riiiight.
There needs to be a few more zeroes behind that if they are going to make any difference.
So either way, the refusal to sink the boats is going to bankrupt them.
No mention of the islamic feral animals being deported?
The cultures of africa & islam are not compatible to civilized society.

Not enough.
Rwanda will, in turn, need to find a country without a border.
