Context: This deal has been in the works, in some form, for about two years, and would allow the British government to deport some migrants who enter the country illegally to Rwanda as a means of deterring future illegal entrants; this new legislation was formulated in response to a Supreme Court ruling on an earlier iteration of the bill, which said it’s illegal to deport migrants in this way because the government can’t guarantee the safety of people shipped off to Rwanda; a new treaty with the Rwandan government would seem to address these concerns, and now that the House of Lords has removed itself as a barrier, lawsuits brought by migrants are the last remaining threat to this policy. —The Associated Press One Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

Context: Most of these protests are focused on Israel’s ongoing invasion of the Gaza Strip, and protestors are generally demanding that their schools divest from weapons manufacturers and Israel-based entities that might be funding or otherwise supporting this invasion; there have been accusations of anti-Semitic language and attacks at and around some of these protests, there have also been concerns that non-students have mixed in with student protestors to co-opt these events and in some cases tilt them toward extreme language or small acts of violence, and many teachers and students have criticized the folks running these universities for calling the police to break up these protests, in some cases punishing students for protesting, even to the point of booting them from the university—all of which has created a firestorm of accusations and anger, and the emergence of more protests, at these and other educational institutions. —Axios Argentina’s economic activity is looking like to have dropped 5.9% in February compared to the same month in 2023, which (if confirmed) will mark the fourth straight month of declines during a period of intense austerity implemented by the country’s new president, who ran on a platform of dramatically cutting spending and curtailing the nation’s substantial i
