Claim: The government's plan was to put failed asylum seekers on a plane to Rwanda.
Fact-check: Does the government's Rwanda policy only impact 'failed asylum seekers'? - Full Fact
Verdict: this depends on how you interpret the word "failed". all asylum seekers that would be sent to rwanda, were the government's plans to proceed, would be deemed ineligible for asylum in the uk because under new laws their cases wouldn't be considered at all, not because they had been considered in the uk and rejected.
