UK Interior Minister Signs New Rwanda Treaty to Revamp Asylum Plan

The UK has signed a new treaty with Rwanda in an attempt to revive its plan to deport asylum seekers to the country, after the Supreme Court ruled the previous plan unlawful. The treaty addresses concerns raised by the court, including assurances that Rwanda will not remove anyone transferred under the partnership if their life or freedom would be threatened. However, lawyers and charities believe the plan is likely to fail and deportation flights may not start before the next election. The opposition Labour Party plans to abandon the Rwanda policy if it wins. The UK government is under pressure to cut net migration and deter illegal crossings.
