UK Government Faces Setbacks in Deportation Plan for Asylum Seekers to Rwanda

TL;DR Summary
The UK government's plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda has faced another setback as the House of Lords voted to reinsert amendments to the Safety of Rwanda Bill, which had been rejected by the House of Commons. The government aims to deter migrants from crossing the English Channel by deporting them to Rwanda, but opponents argue that Rwanda is not a safe country for asylum seekers. The legislation will now go through a "ping-pong" process between the two parliamentary chambers, with the House of Commons likely to vote on the issue after their Easter recess.
