3:14Now PlayingSome asylum seekers have told Sky News they may avoid routine Home Office appointments over fears they could be detained and sent to Rwanda.
Under government plans, anyone entering the country illegally since 2022 will be sent to Rwanda to have their claim processed.
On 28 April, the government said it would start to detain people ahead of their removal within the next few weeks.
Official documents have revealed that of 5,700 asylum seekers in the first group of migrants identified for removal to Rwanda, contact has been lost with 3,557.
