Interesting take by The Continent on the UK’s Rwanda policy.

The fear and distress in the asylum-seeking community are at an all-time high.
If you are someone at risk of detention or know someone who is, make sure they have this leaflet printed off and with them. #KnowledgeIsPower

The last time the government tried to detain people to deport them to Rwanda, we had a 100% success rate at getting them out of detention 💪💪💪

We hope to do the same again.

Here are 5 ways you can help:

We know it is not safe, whatever Michael Tomlinson might say. Rainbow Migration, African Rainbow Family and Micro Rainbow all work with #LGBTQI #refugees and people seeking asylum from #Rwanda . If it was safe why would they need to flee for safety?

The dangers of #Rwanda for #LGBTIQ + people have been recognised by the Home Office on multiple occasions, yet we still await any confirmation that this community will be protected from deportation.

Sign our petition now to demand this protection: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6521…

Messages from frontline asylum charities wondering what to do in face of gov claiming start of asylum arrests tomorrow:

1. People are frightened, be careful not to allow our fear to spread further to them. Be calm. Remember your role is to listen, present options, don’t direct.

Read this thread on the practical consequences of the Illegal Migration Act. Genuinely horrifying.

Destitution, detention and deportation. Britain's proud tradition of sanctuary.

A dark day. But there is always hope.

The Rwanda bill has been passed. Today we grieve, but tomorrow - along with the 500+ orgs of the Together With Refugees coalition - will continue to fight for something better.

You cannot legislate to say that some people deserve fewer human rights than others. We remain absolutely opposed to the #RwandaBill , and stand in solidarity and support with all those who have been left more fearful for the future this morning, having come here seeking safety.

This.

Do you know of anyone who has been given a notice of removal to Rwanda and who does not have a legal aid lawyer to help challenge the decision? If so, please get in touch
