At long last, UK’s Rwanda deportation bill will now become law.
This news is coming after opposition and cross-bench peers stepped down on Monday night.
Their decision had paved the way for legal battles over the likely removal of dozens of people looking for asylum in the United Kingdom.
Finally, the bill was passed after a marathon battle over the essential legislation between the Commons and the Lords.
This bill is expected to be granted royal assent on Tuesday, April 23.
Home Office sources have informed the Guardian UK that they have already identified a group of refugee seekers with weak legal claims to continue their stay in the UK and they will be part of the first group to be sent to the Eastern African country in July.
British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has meanwhile, put the bill at the centre of his plans to discontinue small boats from crossing the Channel.
The home secretary, James Cleverly, has said that it was a “landmark moment in our plan to end the boats crossing”.
