UK Supreme Court hears government appeal of ruling that Rwanda asylum plan is unlawful

• The UK government is appealing a Court of Appeal ruling that its plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda is unlawful.
• The government argues the plan will deter dangerous Channel crossings, but critics say Rwanda is unsafe for asylum seekers.
• No one has been deported to Rwanda yet under the contested scheme announced in April 2022.
• The case is seen as a test of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's hardline stance on immigration.
• The Supreme Court's ruling will have significant implications for UK asylum policy going forward.
