The UK Supreme Court will rule on November 15, 2023 on whether the government's controversial Rwanda policy for migrants is lawful, a decision with major political ramifications for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The Migration and Economic Development Partnership envisages sending to Rwanda anyone who has made what the government calls "dangerous or illegal journeys, such as by small boat or hidden lorries" to the UK. The ruling is the latest episode in a long-running saga that began in April 2022 last year when the policy was signed under former Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
