UK passes bill to send asylum seekers to Rwanda

Rishi Sunak's Rwanda deportation bill will become law after peers eventually backed down on amending it, opening the way for legal battles over the potential removal of dozens of people seeking asylum.
 

After a marathon battle of "ping pong" over the key legislation between the Commons and the Lords, the bill finally passed when opposition and crossbench peers gave way on Monday night.

The bill is expected to be granted royal assent on Tuesday. Home Office sources said they have already identified a group of asylum seekers with weak legal claims to remain in the UK who will be part of the first tranche to be sent to east Africa in July.

The Home Office has whittled the list down to 350 migrants who are deemed to pose the least risk of submitting successful legal challenges blocking their deportation.
 

At a specially convened press conference on Monday morning, he said the government would "not let a foreign court" block flights to Rwanda and stressed that he would finally end the "legal merry-go-round" associated with deportation flights.

Let's see what the courts have to say about that.

Disgusting. They're basically sending people back to jail/death.

Well as long as they're safer than they were in their home country... whether it's in the UK or Rwanda I don't see the difference

Disgusting :rip: 

I can't understand how he gets away with these abhorrent policies. This man is truly the worst, and it's high time the conservatives were removed from power.

Rwanda literally committed mass murder of its own people only 30 years ago:rip: It's absolutely not a safe country to send people who are fleeing persecution. Paul Kagame is a terrible man who has his political opponents assassinated. Not to mention the country is currently in a long term conflict with the DRC.

 

You can think what you like about what it's like to live in the UK, but there's no way it's as bad as Rwanda.

Genuinely there's no reason for your views besides just straight up racism. :rip: There's something uniquely horrific in hating other races so much that you even turn away refugees.

They try to give off this vibe of being edgy and raw when it's actually giving brain dead and ill-informed :rip:

Germany has suffer enough due to the previous migrant influx, including after Russia launched their attack on Ukraine. Not to mention we have housing crisis. The health care system is also free falling. 

 

If Namibia wants to help us, then that should be a solution. :clap3: And Ampel needs to make it a reality as fast as they legalized weed. 

 

It has nothing to do with racism. 

 

Germany has to stop playing the white savior card for once. :bird: We have helped so much for ages and they still call us Alman and amk.
