Campaigners and lawyers from Cherie Blair's old chambers have lost a High Court bid to block the Government's plan to send migrants to Rwanda, paving the way for the first flight to go ahead on Tuesday.
Migrants due to be given a one-way ticket to the east African nation as part of Home Secretary Priti Patel's bid to curb Channel crossings, as well as campaign groups and a union, had asked judges to block their upcoming deportation flight.
Judge Mr Justice Swift ruled against the claim and said: 'I do not consider that the balance of convivence favours the grant of the generic relief.'
Home Secretary Priti Patel told MailOnline: 'I welcome the court's decision in our favour and will now continue to deliver on progressing our world-leading Migration Partnership.
'People will continue to try and prevent their relocation through legal challenges and last-minute claims but we will not be deterred in breaking the deadly people smuggling trade and ultimately save lives.
