    Laws can’t be untrue statements. They are commands, imperatives, procedures, not statements.

      I take it you are not from the UK. See Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3540/publications

      The Government plans to send some people who would otherwise claim asylum in the UK to Rwanda, saying that it is safe for refugees. The Supreme Court has held that Rwanda is not safe for refugees because they might be sent away to face persecution, and so the plan is unlawful.

      Government has signed a new treaty with Rwanda containing additional safeguards for people relocated. Parliament is now being asked to consider legislation declaring that Rwanda must be treated as safe, in order to render the relocation plan lawful in UK domestic law.

      That law is very much a statement, and arguably an untrue one

        Ah. I am from the UK, just clearly ignorant. And now disappointed.
