The Rwanda Bill, a controversial immigration measure, has passed through Parliament. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hailed the move and pledged to focus on getting flights to Rwanda off the ground within weeks. The bill aims to deter illegal migration by sending asylum seekers who enter the UK illegally to Rwanda for processing and potential resettlement. The Rwanda government has expressed its willingness to accommodate the migrants and has worked to ensure their safety and security.
The Rwanda Bill, which aims to deter illegal migration by deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, has been approved by Parliament after weeks of debate and amendments. The Bill was passed despite opposition from the House of Lords, who raised concerns about Rwanda’s safety for asylum seekers and the exemption of former British military interpreters from deportation. The government claims the Bill will act as a deterrent to migrants attempting the perilous journey across the English Channel in small boats. However, critics have called the policy an ‘extortionately expensive gimmick’ that will not address the root causes of migration.
Despite legal challenges, the UK government has passed the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill, paving the way for flights to Rwanda to begin in July.

The UK Parliament has passed the Nationality and Borders Bill, allowing the government to send asylum seekers to Rwanda for their claims to be considered. This move has faced opposition in the Houses of Parliament and legal challenges in British courts on human rights grounds.

However, the government may face further legal challenges in the European Court of Human Rights, as the UK remains a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights.

The government stated that the Lords amendment was similar to previous ones overturned by MPs. Prime Minister Sunak hailed the passing of the bill as a “fundamental change” in global migration policy.
