Rishi Sunak: 'With Our New Treaty, Rwanda Is Safe'

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he is not giving up on deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda and suggested he would be willing to change British laws to make it happen, as he tried to stave off a furious backlash on the right of his Conservative Party after the Supreme Court ruled his plan was illegal.

Sunak told lawmakers he is “unwavering” in his commitment to stop migrants arriving in small boats across the English Channel. In a tense session of Parliament hours after the highest court quashed his Rwanda plan, the premier said ministers are working on a new treaty with the east African nation to address the judges’ concerns. He later told reporters that would be backed by emergency legislation in Parliament to asset that the Rwanda plan is “safe.”
