The UK government's controversial policy to deport migrants to Rwanda

was ruled as "lawful" by the country's High Court, saying that the scheme did not breach the UN's Refugee Convention or human rights laws. However, the court also criticized Home Secretary Suella Braverman for failing to "properly consider" the cases of eight asylum seekers.

• A step back: The controversial plan -- backed by the ex-PM Boris Johnson and most of the Conservative party -- was supposed to be carried out with the first flight to Rwanda set to take off on June 14, but the European Court of Human Rights stepped in and legal challenges stalled the program.
• 💵: The UK said they will pay Rwanda £120 million over the next five years to finance the scheme.
