The country has been wrestling with an influx of migrants from the Middle East, Africa, and Afghanistan.
LONDON: The UK government will try next week to persuade judges at the country’s top court to overturn a ruling that declared its divisive plan to deport to Rwanda asylum seekers who arrive in small boats across the Channel unlawful.
The stakes for Sunak are high, as he has made dealing with immigration one of his five priorities. Successfully addressing the issue could revive his Conservative Party’s ailing fortunes as it languishes some 20 points behind in opinion polls ahead of an election expected next year. Opponents of the scheme say it is immoral, expensive, and simply will not work. Their number includes human rights groups, lawmakers, including some Conservatives, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the head of the Anglican communion. Even King Charles is reported by media to have privately expressed reservations.
Immigration was one of the main factors behind the 2016 vote to leave the European Union, with the promise that the UK would take back control of its borders. A new law, passed in July, now makes it a legal duty of the interior minister to deport migrants arriving without permission either back to their homeland or to a safe third country. The UK has only signed such an agreement with Rwanda.
