The Prime Minister faced MPs in the House of Commons after the government's Rwanda plan, devised to tackle illegal migration, was dismissed by the Supreme Court.
Lord Reed announced the "unanimous" judgment from the court's justices on Wednesday, saying those sent to the country would be at "real risk" of being returned home, whether their grounds to claim asylum were justified or not - breaching international law.
While charities celebrated the decision as "a victory for humanity", Rishi Sunak said the judgment was "not the outcome we wanted".
But he appeared to double down on the policy, telling the Commons he was "prepared to change laws and revisit... international relationships" if they were "frustrating" his plans.
After Prime Minister's Questions, Home Secretary James Cleverly gave an update to the House of Commons following the Supreme Court ruling on the Rwanda policy.
