NextImg:Rwanda deal could be done TODAY as pressure piles on Sunak to tackle migration

Rishi Sunak's fresh deal with Rwanda could be signed as soon as today, as the Government sets in motion its plans to get the agreement over the line.

James Cleverly is said to be on standyto fly to Rwanda to sign off the deal, which could come as soon as today.

The Government is looking to put in place measures to ensure that asylum seekers are not sent back to their countries of origin if they could be in danger.

The agreement is seeking to include a legal guarantee that would prevent asylum seekers from being deported from Rwanda if they have been sent there as part of the scheme.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court ruled that the plan to send migrants to Rwanda is unlawful.

All five justices unanimously agreed with the Court of Appeal’s conclusion that the Rwanda policy was unlawful.

Delivering his judgement, Lord Reed noted that "the court of appeal was right to overturn the high court's decision and to consider the evidence again for itself".

He cited concerns about "media and political freedom", the country's "poor human rights record" and a "misunderstanding of its obligations under the Refugee Convention".

Speaking after the ruling, the Prime Minister said the Government will "carefully review" the judgement and make plans for "next steps".

But Home Secretary James Cleverly has indicated reluctance after he urged people not to "fixate" on the plans.
