Does Rwanda even want this?

Like I know the Texans have pioneered some A-grade assholery in dumping people on other people but I feel like sovereign country to sovereign country is a different ball game if one of them doesn't want to cooperate.

The right people in Rwanda are getting paid, it doesn't matter what regular people want.

Italy is doing something similar but deporting them to Albania, source here. Being in the EU, the whole thing is even more infuriating (to me).

When will people revolt? Protest at the homes of these asshole-politicians.

People are already protesting, but suppressing dissent is just one of many ways in which the Tories are emulating their fascist colleagues from across the pond and elsewhere in Europe.
