"Setback for Sunak as Lords Reject U.K.-Rwanda Migration Deal"

The House of Lords in Britain has voted to delay the ratification of a migration treaty with Rwanda, which is a setback for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's plan to deport asylum-seekers to the African nation. The vote, although symbolic, reflects growing opposition to the controversial plan, with concerns raised about Rwanda's safety for refugees. Despite the House of Lords' motion, the government intends to proceed, but the move could face legal challenges. The treaty is a key part of Sunak's strategy to deter unauthorized migrants from crossing the English Channel, but has faced criticism from human rights groups and was ruled illegal by the U.K. Supreme Court.
