THE U.K GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TOLD IT'S ASYLUM POLICY OF SENDING REFUGEES TO RWANDA IS ILLEGAL

The UK Supreme Court has ruled the governments policy of sending potential asylum seekers to Rwanda before being considered for leave to stay is illegal.

This idea was brought about by the numbers of people being smuggled into the UK from places in Europe in ridiculous numbers.
But rather than go after the gangs who do the smuggling, a right-wing section of the Conservative party came up with the idea that anyone caught should be flown to Rwanda and await possible processing/rejection there.

Apparently months of negotiation with Rwandan authorities had made this a possibility despite the fact little information about the agreement has been made known to the UK public.

Ain't the supreme court and the government the same thing?

@FloorGenAdm No. Government creates policy. judiciary tells them whether or not it's legal.
