According to a BBC report, approximately 52,000 migrants have arrived

in the UK since the law regarding asylum was changed in 2023 and are in

line for deportation. Rwanda has now signed a five-year deal with the

UK, with costs estimated to be an astronomical £300 million at least.

The UK-Rwanda deal, officially known as the “Rwanda Asylum Partnership

Agreement,” is a controversial policy agreed upon by the UK and Rwanda

in April 2022 under former Home Secretary Priti Patel. Her successor,

Suella Braverman, also advocated for the plan until she was fired in

2023.
