The UK government has vowed to press ahead with its plan to send illegal immigrants to Rwanda after the first planned flight was halted by a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on April 14 that people who enter the UK illegally, including those who cross the English Channel in small boats, may end up being relocated to the African country of Rwanda. The UK government said the move is necessary to deter human smuggling.
