The British government's scheme to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda looks likely to become law by the end of the week.
The Rwanda Bill finally passed both Houses of Parliament during a late night sitting and is expected to be given royal assent within days.
The plan was first unveiled by the British government two years ago when Boris Johnson was prime minister.
However, the first flight was stopped by an injunction by the European Court of Human Rights.
In addition, the British Supreme Court later ruled that Rwanda was not a safe country to process asylum applications.
