TL;DR Summary

The U.K. Supreme Court is set to deliberate on the legality of the British government's plan to deport migrants to Rwanda, a policy aimed at deterring unauthorized crossings of the English Channel. The government had signed a deal with Rwanda to take in migrants who had sought asylum in the U.K. but had never been to Africa. Critics argue that the policy is discriminatory and amounts to an asylum ban for most migrants. The Supreme Court ruling, expected in November, will be the final say on the matter. The U.K. has seen a spike in legal and illegal migration, with the English Channel becoming a major route for undocumented migrants.
