In Britain, the House of Commons has approved legislation to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda even if they have no ties to the African country. The bill declares that Rwanda is a safe country for asylum seekers despite a recent U.K. Supreme Court ruling saying the opposite. The bill is expected to face opposition in the House of Lords, where one member has described the legislation as a “step towards totalitarianism.”
