UK Home Secretary faces criticism over Rwanda deportation scheme visit.

UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman visited Rwanda to discuss a controversial deportation scheme that would see the UK deport asylum seekers deemed to have arrived illegally to the African nation. The scheme has faced legal difficulties and backlash from NGOs, asylum seekers, and civil service trade unions. The UK government argues the program is aimed at disrupting people-smuggling networks and deterring migrants from making the dangerous sea journey across the Channel to England from France. However, critics argue that the proposed legislation is illegal and unworkable, and that it amounts to "a liberal, democratic state abandoning the principle of the right to asylum."
