The UK’s controversial policy to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda stems from a “serious and pressing need” to stop illegal migrants getting into the country on small boats, government lawyers argued as scrutiny of the plans reached the nation’s top court on Monday.
There is a “strong public interest” and a “serious and pressing need” for the policy in order to stop illegal migration into the UK, facilitated by criminal gangs and smugglers, and deterring dangerous journeys to the UK, James Eadie, a government lawyer, said on Monday. Sunak and Home Secretary Suella Braverman have sought to demonstrate a hard line on migration with warnings that a “hurricane” of migrants is headed for the UK and their promise to “stop the boats” bringing asylum seekers across the English Channel from France. The legislation has put arrivals into a legal limbo, with no route to seeking asylum, and the government struggling with a massive backlog of cases that’ll take years to clear.
An unfavorable ruling—which could be months away—would boost calls from the far right of the party to quit the ECHR, who they see as needlessly meddling in British law. Last year the Strasbourg-based court stopped the first Rwanda flights in an eleventh-hour intervention.
