Digital
Desk: In a letter to departing Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday, UK Home
Secretary Priti Patel announced her resignation from the Cabinet and that she
will support Liz Truss from the opposition benches in Parliament.
It
was widely anticipated that the senior minister of Indian descent, who was
close to Johnson, wouldn't be on Prime Minister-elect Truss' top team.
The
50-year-old Patel outlined her numerous accomplishments in the position in her
resignation letter to Johnson, including the Migration and Mobility Partnership
she forged with India and other nations to combat illegal immigration.
In her letter of resignation, she
stated that she will support Liz Truss as our new prime minister and expressed
her congratulations on being chosen as our new leader.
Once
Liz officially assumes office and a new Home Secretary is named, I have decided
to continue serving the nation and the Witham constituency from the opposition
benches. I will advocate for many of the programmes and causes that I have
supported both inside and outside of government from the backbenches, she
declared.
She wrote, referring to some of her
work as the head of the Home Office, "I have signed new international
returns agreements with India, Albania, Serbia, Nigeria, and Pakistan, with
work underway to negotiate more agreements and to remove more people who should
not be in this country and who have abused our hospitality."
Another
minister of Indian ancestry, Suella Braverman, is anticipated to receive the
Home Secretary's job.

Patel, who was named Home Secretary by Boris Johnson in July 2019, said it was
an honour to implement reforms for the nation's immigration and police systems
as well as the battle against terrorism.
Her
letter also makes reference to a contentious Rwandan asylum policy that deports
unlawful immigrants there as part of a larger effort to combat illegal
immigration.
She writes that in order to guarantee
the complete implementation and delivery of the New Plan for Immigration and
Nationality and Borders Act, it is essential that your successor support all
facets of these policies on illegal immigration.
The 50-year-old
Johnson supporter and MP for Witham in Essex was one of a select group of
front-line ministers who decided not to publicly endorse either of the two
candidates for Tory leadership, Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak.
Earlier on
Monday, she complimented her former boss in front of MPs from the opposition,
ordering them to stop interjecting.
She remarked,
"I'm proud to work for this administration and I'd like to thank the Prime
Minister, Mr. Boris Johnson.
