TL;DR Summary

UK immigration minister Robert Jenrick has resigned, stating that the government's draft emergency legislation on the Rwandan migrant deportation scheme did not go far enough. Jenrick believes that the legislation should have limited the opportunities for domestic and international courts to challenge the policy. He expressed his inability to take the proposed legislation through the House of Commons, as he does not believe it provides the best chance of success. Jenrick has been vocal about the need to address the arrival of small boats on the southern coast of England, stating that it is "profoundly wrong" for people to enter the country in this way.
