Japan's Immigration Law Sparks Controversy and Chaos in Parliament.

TL;DR Summary
Japan's parliament has passed a bill to revise its immigration and refugee law, allowing authorities to deport individuals who repeatedly apply for asylum status. The amended law aims to reduce long-term detention in immigration facilities and encourage the expulsion of foreign individuals who do not comply with deportation orders issued for overstaying. Opponents have argued that the revised legislation could result in the repatriation of those who are at risk of persecution in their home countries, endangering their lives, and also lead to the expulsion of children who were born and brought up in Japan.
