The Suella Braverman/Rwanda abomination.

It’s been almost four years since I left the UK and, despite being a bit of a politics junkie, I sometimes find it rather difficult to follow UK political news. Especially when a particular issue floods the media for a while, then completely vanishes, then comes back again in a flurry of media attention. So, I’m appealing to any and all politically savvy Brits on this site to help me out. Yes, I’m looking at you @Burnley123.
It's about the Suella Braverman/Rwanda abomination.
To our American friends that don’t know, Suella Braverman is a member of the Tory Party, is a second-generation immigrant (her parents are both from India, she was born in the UK) and, is the current Home Secretary. As such, one of her key responsibilities is immigration.
The “Rwanda abomination” that I refer to was first put forward in April 2022 by the then Home Secretary, Priti Patel. Who, yet again, is a second-generation immigrant of Indian descent (ie born in the UK but both her parents are from India, this time via Uganda).
A deal was made with the Rwanda government whereby illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees that had made their way into the UK, would be deported to Rwanda for processing, asylum and settlement. IF THEY QUALIFY. Qualify what exactly?
Rwanda, the country that had one of the worst genocides in modern history as recently as 1994. Rwanda, a country with a 45% poverty rate and an average life expectancy of 65.
So what is it that I need help with, I hear you ask.
No, it’s not; WTF is wrong with two successive Home Secretaries that are of Indian descent, are the offspring of immigrants, and have zero compassion and understanding about the plight of the people that could very well have been their bloody parents!
My question is this; have the Tories provided any kind of information to the general voting public which shows exactly what provisions have been put in place for the people that will be dumped in Rwanda?
Because these people have already been classified as “Illegals”, it is more than likely that they are currently languishing in various deportation centres. Which, in turn, means that they will arrive in Rwanda with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.
How the hell will these poor souls survive?
Is the British public aware?
