The British government hopes one last push can revive its stalled plan to send some asylum-seekers on a one-way trip to Rwanda
. A bill aimed at overcoming a U.K. Supreme Court block on the deportation flights returns to the House of Commons on Monday, and could be passed into law within days. That would be a boost for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is facing disquiet from fellow Conservative lawmakers as the party lags in opinion polls ahead of an election due this year. Lawmakers in the House of Commons are due to consider changes made to the Safety of Rwanda Bill by Parliament’s upper chamber, the House of Lords.
Just under 30,000 people arrived in Britain in small boats in 2023, many of them not from the African continent at all. “We need to make it clear that if you come here illegally, you won’t be able to stay and we will be able to remove you. That is the only way to properly solve the issue of illegal migration,” Sunak told reporters. The agreement faced multiple legal challenges, and no one has been sent to Rwanda.
