"UK MPs Face Pressure to Support Rishi Sunak's Controversial Rwanda Plan"

Tory MPs are facing pressure from ministers to support Rishi Sunak's plan to send migrants to Rwanda for processing and potential resettlement in order to deter Channel crossings. The government has introduced emergency legislation, the Safety of Rwanda Bill, which requires judges to treat Rwanda as safe and grants ministers powers to disregard parts of the Human Rights Act. Some MPs have concerns about the approach and will examine the bill, with debates scheduled for Tuesday. While MPs with human rights concerns are being assured that some protections remain, those on the right of the party are being reassured that legal challenges would be unlikely to succeed. Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman and former immigration minister Robert Jenrick have criticized the plan, with Jenrick arguing that the bill does not go far enough.
