TL;DR Summary

UK Home Secretary James Cleverly has signed a new treaty with Rwanda to send asylum seekers to the African nation, following a UK court ruling that declared a deportation scheme to Rwanda illegal.

The UK Supreme Court ruled last month that the deportation scheme would violate domestic legislation.
