EU plans new law criminalizing undocumented migrants
The European Parliament has voted on a new law known as the "Return Regulation," which aims to standardize the procedures for deporting undocumented migrants within the European Union countries. The law includes measures to speed up the enforcement of deportation decisions, reduce lengthy procedural steps, and strengthen authorities' power to impose sanctions on non-cooperative migrants. These sanctions include increasing the ban on re-entry from five to ten years, with a maximum lifetime ban. The law also allows for the detention of migrants for up to 24 months if they do not cooperate with deportation processes, while ensuring their legal rights are respected. This has sparked human rights criticisms concerning the dignity and treatment of migrants.
