The FDA union, which represents senior civil servants, has warned staff could also be in violation of the civil service code - and open to possible prosecution if they followed a minister's demands to ignore an urgent injunction from Strasbourg banning a deportation.
The FDA has sent a pre-action legal letter to James Cleverly, the home secretary, calling for clarity - with a request to either amend the legislation or change the code.
In a development which appears to set the government on a collision course with the union, the Cabinet Office on Monday declined to address the union's concerns.
The Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) bill states that it is for ministers to decide whether to comply with decisions by the European court of human rights to temporarily halt a deportation.
