The UK government's announcement that it plans to send migrants illegally entering the UK to the East African nation of Rwanda for processing has outraged many from politicians and charities to the Church of England.
The UK will reportedly pay Rwanda £120m and refugees could be sent to east Africa within weeks.
The government has defended the policy, with Foreign Minister Priti Patel stating in the House of Commons that the current dispersal system is "unfair" and overwhelmed, with local authorities sharing the burden "disproportionately". Meanwhile, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was the "morally right thing to do."
Little reported is the fact that for several days straight, migrant crossings in the English channel have completely stopped.
