Priti Patel has vowed to push through with the Rwanda migrant plan after the 'disappointing' cancellation of the first migrant flight.
It was confirmed on Tuesday evening that the Human Rights court had granted an injunction to stop one of the people - an Iraqi man - on the Rwanda flight being deported.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan tweeted: "Tonight's inhumane deportation of asylum seekers to #Rwanda has been stopped by the ECtHR - minutes before it was due to depart."It's now potentially unlawful too." They locked themselves together using metal pipes to blockade the exit intended to take the migrants to the airport.
