TL;DR Summary

British lawmakers have voted in favor of the government's plan to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda, despite criticism from human rights groups and legal challenges. The bill seeks to overcome a ruling by the UK Supreme Court that deems the plan illegal. The controversial policy, which has cost the UK at least $300 million, aims to deter unauthorized migrants from crossing the English Channel from France. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sees delivering on this promise as crucial for closing the gap in opinion polls with the opposition Labour Party ahead of the upcoming election. However, critics argue that the plan is unworkable, unethical, and undermines the rule of law.
