Will Asylum Seekers be Sent to Rwanda After High Court Ruling?
Home Secretary Braverman says she wants to deliver Rwanda deportations at scale as soon as possible
BBC News 20 DEC 2022.
The government's plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda was supposed to deter people from trying to cross the Channel to reach the UK on small boats.
40,000 have done so this year.
But the first flight to the east African country in June was grounded after legal challenges.
Today, though, senior judges ruled the policy was lawful and Home Secretary Suella Braverman said she was “committed” to making it work...
The home secretary has reaffirmed her commitment to sending people seeking refuge in the UK on a one-way ticket to Rwanda after the high court ruled on Monday that the policy was lawful. In a judgment that could have significant ramifications for Rishi Sunak’s government, an application from asylum seekers, aid groups and a border officials’ union to stop the Conservative government from acting on a deportation agreement with the central African country has been dismissed.
