Rwanda Law Not Applying To Northern Ireland “Could Lead To An Influx Of Channel Migrants”

Martin Howe KC says a ruling that the Rwanda deportation law should not apply to Northern Ireland “could lead to an influx of Channel migrants”.

A judge has ruled that provisions of the UK’s Illegal Migration Act should be disapplied in Northern Ireland, as they undermine human rights protections guaranteed in the region under post-Brexit arrangements.

Mr Justice Humphreys also said aspects of the Act were incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak vowed to appeal over the ruling and insisted the court judgment will not derail or delay his Rwanda scheme.

Martin says: “The Northern Ireland protocol means foreign laws controlled by foreign courts apply to part of the UK!"
