The European Parliament will vote soon on a law aiming to increase returns of irregular migrants, also through controversial deportation centers outside the EU, detentions up to two years, and raids on homes that NGOs compare to US-style ICE’s methods.
The Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) approved on Monday a version of the text supported by the center-right, right-wing, and far-right groups, breaking the traditional “centrist majority”. Left side groups of the hemicycle announced their opposition to the bill, which has now to be voted on by the entire Parliament.
