EU paves way to allow migrant deportation to centres outside bloc

European Union lawmakers and governments agreed on Monday on new rules allowing countries to send migrants ordered to leave the bloc to centres in third countries.

The ‌deal is part of a broader tightening of EU migration policy amid pressure from right‑wing parties, ‌even as irregular arrivals fell 26% last year to their lowest level since 2021.

The legislation, which still requires formal approval by EU governments ​and the European Parliament, was proposed by the European Commission last year. The commission says it would streamline procedures and give governments more tools to deport people while respecting fundamental rights.

EU countries say they struggle to ensure that rejected asylum seekers and visa overstayers leave their territory. The commission says only about 20% of people ordered to leave ‌currently depart.

Under the new rules, EU states ⁠would be able to establish so‑called “return hubs” outside the bloc for people whose asylum claims have been rejected or who have been ordered to leave the EU. Deportees could ⁠be sent to hubs in countries they do not have connections to.

"With the new rules, we have more control over who can come to the EU, who can stay, and who needs to leave,” said European Commissioner Magnus Brunner.

Per AI...

“In 2021, an estimated 2.3 million non-EU immigrants arrived in the European Union.”

So saying lowest level since 2021, if that’s even accurate, isn’t saying much, is it...

Somalis are always looking for a scam/handout. Send all the illegals there. The Somalis would like it, and it would be a great deterrent.
