Supreme Court deems UK's plan to send migrants to Rwanda unlawful

TL;DR Summary
The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda is unlawful, as it would put them at risk of ill-treatment and potential deportation to their home countries. This decision is a setback for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's hardline immigration policy, which aims to clamp down on illegal migration across the English Channel. The ruling has disappointed Downing Street and drawn criticism from Rwanda, which disputes the claim that it is not a safe third country for asylum seekers. The government is now considering next steps, including negotiating a new deal with Rwanda or upgrading the existing agreement.
