MPs have demanded the sacking of civil servants considering strike action over to deport plans migrants to Rwanda.
Angry Tories attacked union leaders' threats to organise a walk-out if Home Office staff are forced to relocate illegal immigrants.
They said there was "no stomach" for getting flights off the ground if judges give the plan the go-ahead in the coming weeks.
But Conservative MPs blasted taxpayer-funded officials refusing to enact the policies of an elected government. Jonathan Gullis said: "Any civil servant proposing to frustrate the will of the British people should be shown the door.
"All this does is feed into the fear of constituents in places like Stoke-on-Trent that despite wanting to take back control, a metropolitan elite tries to thwart them at every opportunity."
Tim Loughton, a member of the Home Affairs select committee, said: "Civil servants are there to carry out government policy dispassionately, not undermine them.
Hostility
"This politicisation of the Civil Service by civil servants is deeply chilling and must be challenged."
