This is the best summary I could come up with:

Britain, under former prime minister Boris Johnson, signed a deal with Rwanda in April 2022 to send some migrants who arrive by boat in the U.K. across the English Channel to the East African country, where their asylum claims would be processed and, if successful, they would stay.

Britain’s government argues that the Rwanda policy will deter people from risking their lives crossing one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, and will break the business model of people-smuggling gangs.

Critics, ranging from opposition lawmakers as well as some Conservatives to church leaders and the United Nations refugee agency, have argued the policy was flawed, a waste of money, immoral and simply would not work.

The Rwanda policy was championed by former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who was fired by Sunak on Monday over a series of intemperate statements that deviated from the government line.

In the weeks before her sacking she described migrants as a “hurricane” headed for Britain, called homelessness a “lifestyle choice” and accused police of being too lenient with pro-Palestinian protesters.

Braverman, who posted a fiery letter sent to Sunak on social media after her firing on Tuesday, has called for the U.K. to leave the European Convention on Human Rights and its court if the Rwanda plan is blocked.
