Immigration: Would the UK dare to deport illegal immigrants to Rwanda?

It’s a hangar usually reserved for filming, with the fuselage of an old plane in the background, but the Interior Ministry agents training there are very real. Right now, somewhere in the United Kingdom, there is a dress rehearsal for the implementation of a highly controversial government bill: the outsourcing of migrants to Rwanda is happening without anyone noticing. Riots, fights, demonstrations… All scenarios are being worked out. Getting ready for D-Day.

However, a huge question mark surrounds the text of the legislation, stripped of its content by amendments by the Lords after it was passed by the House of Commons on January 17. A shame for some, a novelty for others, will Rwanda’s plan change the right to asylum or does it have no chance of being implemented even if the law is passed by Wednesday, after the end of the standoff between the two houses of parliament? Two years after his birth, the outcome of the project remains in complete uncertainty.
