British Immigration Minister resigns over Rwanda deportation plan

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : "The Government has the responsibility to place our vital national interests above highly contested interpretations of international law," the letter emphasizes.
52% : The British Secretary of State for Immigration, Robert Jenrick, resigned from his position on Wednesday over his disagreements with the Government's plan to deport asylum seekers who enter the United Kingdom illegally to Rwanda.
46% : The until now Secretary of State, a member of the hard wing of the Conservatives, had previously advocated removing the United Kingdom from the European Convention on Human Rights, perceived as an impediment to the Rwanda plan, and now returns to demand stronger measures in his resignation letter.
41% : Jenrick's resignation also has an important internal reading on the battle for the leadership of the 'Tories': it comes hours after the former Minister of the Interior and standard bearer of the radical wing, Suella Braverman, criticized in Parliament the law promoted by his successor, Cleverly.
