The United Kingdom has initiated a contentious operation to transfer migrants to Rwanda in Africa, with plans for further actions in the upcoming weeks. The British government has encountered legal and political obstacles over the past two years in pursuit of its Rwanda policy, which aims to send asylum seekers arriving in the U.K. from a 'safe' country after Jan. 1, 2022, to Rwanda.
Despite facing opposition, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pushed through legislation in April to implement the policy. The move has sparked mixed reactions, with some criticizing the government's approach as 'performatively cruel' and 'shameful.'
