Minister quits over immigration policy

Britain's Conservative Party was in disarray on Wednesday after its immigration minister quit over legislation regarding sending migrants to Rwanda as hard-liners turned the screw on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The leader's position looked vulnerable after Robert Jenrick said he had resigned due to "strong disagreements with the direction" of the government's policy on immigration. The resignation came after Rwanda warned that it would pull out of a treaty to accept migrants if Britain did not respect international law.
