Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda will become law, after being approved by the House of Lords.
Not everyone is happy with the plan and it has faced a lot of criticism, including from people in his own party.
On Monday, the plan - known as a bill - was sent back and forth between the peers in the House of Lords and the MPs in the House of Commons five times with changes, before the peers eventually ended the debate after many hours, approving the bill at around midnight.
The bill will now be sent to the King for Royal Ascent on Tuesday, where it will officially become law.
But it could still be held up by legal challenges in the courts.
