Global News published this video item, entitled “British PM Sunak says emergency law ensures legal action can’t delay migrant flights to Rwanda” – below is their description.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday his government will introduce emergency legislation that will confirm that Rwanda is a safe country after the Supreme Court ruled that the scheme to send asylum seekers there was unlawful.
Under the scheme, the U.K. intended to send tens of thousands of asylum seekers who arrived on its shores without permission to the East African country in a bid to deter migrants crossing the Channel from Europe in small boats.
Sunak said his government was already working on a new treaty with Rwanda that would address the points made by the court and, if necessary, he would rewrite domestic legislation.
Sunak said, in a press conference from Downing Street, that he hoped flights deporting migrants to Rwanda would start taking place by the spring.
