On Monday, the United Kingdom Parliament passed the contentious Rwanda deportation bill, marking a significant step toward its enactment into law.
Despite months of opposition from various quarters including Parliament, courts, and civil society, the bill received approval.
The primary point of contention had been the concern for the human rights of asylum seekers.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Conservative party have been vigorously advocating for this legislation.
The bill aims to designate Rwanda as a safe third country, compelling judges to consider it as such.
Additionally, it seeks to grant decision-makers handling asylum applications the authority to bypass certain provisions of international and domestic human rights laws.
This move comes in response to a UK Supreme Court ruling that deems the deportation of migrants to Kigali as illegal.
Anti-immigrant sentiment has arguably been bubbling under the surface of the UK for many years. It prompted millions to vote for Brexit and led the Conservative government to propose plans to fly immigrants to migrant camps in Rwanda.

Thousands across the UK protested against far-right riots, sparked by a stabbing suspect identified as a Rwandan-born Cardiff resident. Major demonstrations unfolded in cities like London, Bristol, and Birmingham, with anti-racist crowds often outnumbering far-right groups. Heavy police deployment curbed planned far-right rallies. The unrest, fueled by false claims linking the suspect to Islam, resulted in injuries, looting, and over 100 rioters charged.

The home secretary insists she will take urgent action to start clearing the asylum backlog in "one simple change" that she says will "save the taxpayer an estimated seven billion pounds over the next 10 years".
