Legal Rebuke and Limbo: The Costly Rwanda Plan for UK Asylum Seekers

Rishi Sunak's Rwanda legislation has faced criticism from the Tory right, with legal assessments concluding that the plans are not fit for purpose. The legislation is deemed insufficiently watertight to meet the government's policy objectives of circumventing legal challenges by individuals seeking to remain in the UK. Suella Braverman, the former home secretary, disputes the prime minister's claim that the deal with Rwanda would have collapsed if the bill had gone further. The bill has split the Conservative party, with Robert Jenrick resigning as immigration minister over concerns that it did not allow the government to override international laws. The legislation will face further scrutiny next week, and the Home Office has been ordered to reveal the full costs of the Rwanda deal.

"Sunak's Rwanda legislation faces uncertain odds of success"

Rishi Sunak's emergency legislation to remove migrants to Rwanda has been given a "50% at best" chance of success, according to an official legal assessment. The legislation, aimed at reviving the stalled £290 million policy, faces the risk of the European Court of Human Rights blocking removal flights. Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick has argued that the legislation will fail and called for Britain to leave international treaties such as the European Convention on Human Rights. The Prime Minister is facing opposition from divided Tory MPs, with some concerned about the safety of Rwanda and others wanting to disapply the European Convention on Human Rights. The legal advice suggests that asylum seekers will still be able to challenge their deportation based on individual circumstances.

"Robert Jenrick's Resignation Sparks Tory Crisis Amid Rwanda Immigration Legislation"

Robert Jenrick has resigned as immigration minister, stating that the government's emergency Rwanda legislation does not provide sufficient protections and could lead to legal challenges. The bill aims to establish Rwanda as a safe country for asylum seekers, but falls short of the demands of some Conservative MPs. Jenrick's resignation is seen as a blow to Rishi Sunak's leadership, as the government faces challenges in addressing migration issues. The draft legislation orders courts to ignore certain sections of the Human Rights Act and other laws that hinder deportations to Rwanda, but does not override the entire Human Rights Act or the European Convention on Human Rights.
