What is the Rwanda bill in the UK?

This bill will sit above the Illegal Migration Act 2023 and sets out in law that Rwanda is deemed to be a safe country to which the Secretary of State can remove illegal migrants to in order to have their asylum or human rights-based claim considered there.

Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill: factsheet

Why is the UK sending migrants to Rwanda?

"We are now able to send asylum seekers to Rwanda under our migration and economic development partnership," a government spokesperson said. "This deal allows people with no immigration status in the UK to be relocated to a safe third country where they will be supported to rebuild their lives."
