UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed willingness to modify his contentious plan to deport migrants to Rwanda, responding to a recent Supreme Court ruling declaring it illegal under international law. The Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill, a response to the court decision, faced internal Conservative party divisions. Sunak, facing opposition from both right-wing and moderate factions, secured a narrow parliamentary vote. While asserting confidence in the legislation, he acknowledged openness to improvements that align with legal arguments and maintain Rwandan participation, amid concerns about its impact on UK and international law.
