Supreme Court deems UK's plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda unlawful

TL;DR Summary
The UK's Supreme Court has rejected the government's plan to deport asylum-seekers to Rwanda, ruling it unlawful. The plan, aimed at deterring unauthorized migration across the English Channel, was heavily criticized by human rights groups and opponents. The court stated that there was a real risk of persecution or inhumane treatment for those sent to Rwanda, making it a non-safe country. The policy was deemed unlawful due to the UK's adherence to the European Convention on Human Rights. The decision is a blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who had made stopping unauthorized migration a major promise.
