Controversial immigration bill sparks chaos in Japanese parliament.
Chaos broke out in Japan's parliament as lawmakers passed a bill revising the refugee and immigration law, allowing officials to deport asylum seekers who have applied and failed multiple times. The revision aims to prevent overcrowding in detention facilities and prevent abuse of the system. Opponents argue that the bill puts the lives of asylum seekers in danger through repatriation and does not protect their rights or improve their conditions at immigration facilities. The bill was eventually passed during a Friday session.
