EU Parliament greenlights sweeping return law with outside-EU hubs and tougher detentions

The European Parliament approved a new hard-line migration law designed to speed up removals for those without legal status, introducing outside-EU return hubs for transit or extended stays, exempting unaccompanied minors while potentially sending families to hubs; it also tightens detention (up to two years with possible extensions and unlimited time for security risks), extends entry bans (up to 10 years or lifetime), and changes the appeals process to end automatic suspensions. The measure passed 418-218 amid a right-leaning majority, sparking debate over migrants’ rights and police-like raids.

EU reaches deal to speed deportations with outside-EU return hubs

EU negotiators reached a deal to speed up deportations, allowing member states to send those ordered to leave to “return hubs” outside the bloc, with some provisions taking effect immediately and others after a year. The package includes stricter rules for security threats, potential home searches, longer detentions, entry bans and penalties for non-cooperation, drawing praise for restoring EU control but drawing sharp criticism from rights groups over risks to detainees and minors. The EU Council and Parliament still need to approve the measure.

EU approves tough new migration law, expanding 'return hubs' and detention powers

EU leaders agreed on a controversial Return Regulation to accelerate removals, enabling outside-EU return hubs (with unaccompanied minors exempt and families eligible), removing the requirement to return to origin or a connected country; the package also tightens detention up to two years with possible extensions, extends entry bans, and introduces a European Return Order, drawing civil-society criticism ahead of formal approval.
