UK's Sunak Faces Key Test Over Rwanda Migrant Policy Vote

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Tuesday will strive to avoid a potential setback for his recent initiative to relocate migrants to Rwanda, a move that has caused divisions within his ruling Conservative party.

Sunak’s response to a unanimous Supreme Court ruling last month, which deemed the deportation of asylum seekers to Rwanda illegal under international law, is embodied in the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill.

The bill aims to address the court’s concerns through legislation, forming part of the government’s broader effort to curtail both regular and irregular immigration, a critical issue likely to feature prominently in the upcoming election.
