EU Lawmakers Approve Tougher Migrant Rules, Allow Deportation To 'Return Hubs': All About The New Policy

Summary

The European Parliament has approved stricter migration measures, granting member states broader powers to deport failed asylum seekers from European Union territories. Under the new system, member states can establish so-called return hubs in non-European Union countries, where migrants or asylum seekers may be sent if they are found to be staying illegally. The new rules aim to simplify and speed up procedures, while respecting fundamental rights and international law.
