The European Parliament approved the Return Regulation, a major migration policy overhaul that permits member states to set up detention centers abroad, referred to as 'return hubs.' Right-wing and far-right parties formed a coalition to pass the regulation, breaking past political barriers. The law allows national authorities to raid people’s homes to enforce deportation orders, according to the Guardian. The Return Regulation permits the detention of asylum seekers for up to two years, reported by politicsatnyu.org. Greece, Denmark, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands have entered into negotiations with foreign governments, mainly in Africa, to host return hubs, according to politicsatnyu.org. Critics compare the policy to Trump-era immigration policies. Human rights groups warn offshore facilities lack monitoring of protections, and Amnesty International says the regulation amounts to an unprecedented stripping of rights based on migration status. Critics say the policy creates a harsh system undermining asylum protections and imposes punitive measures leading to legal limbo. The European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen called the law 'fair and firm,' according to the Hindu. The EU law is framed as being compatible with international law, reported by France24.
