redirect asylum seekers to Rwanda, where their claims will be weighed by the East African country.

deter vulnerable migrants from
making perilous crossings and
break the business model of the
criminal gangs who exploit them. , Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.

allow us to do that and make it very
clear that if you come here illegally,
you will not be able to stay, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.

have condemned the bill. .

all countries – not just those neighboring

for refugee protection, undermining
international cooperation and setting
a worrying global precedent, Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, via statement .
Amnesty International U.K. referred to the legislation
as "a stain on this country’s moral reputation" , which "takes a hatchet to international legal protections for some of the most vulnerable people in the world.".
