According to reports, Janrick said he could not continue in the role when he disagreed with the direction of the UK's immigration policy.
According to the report, Janrik has different opinions on the "Rwanda Security (Asylum and Immigration) Bill" released by the United Kingdom on the same day. In a resignation letter, he said the legislation was "one of the last chances" to address the migration crisis before 2024 in the UK**.
Jenrik said the legislation needed to "further limit the opportunities for domestic and international courts to challenge the policy." He added, "I can't get the House of Commons to pass the legislation that is being proposed because I don't think it will give us the best chance of success." ”
According to previous reports, earlier in November, the British Supreme Court ruled that the "Rwanda Plan", an illegal immigration resettlement plan proposed by the United Kingdom**, was illegal. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak still said that the UK would try to continue to push the plan. The international community has criticized the UK's approach as "a violation of the fundamental rights of migrants".
