Europe seeks to increase deportations as some warn of Trump-like tactics

AI Summary

long article 5 min

The European Union is increasing migrant deportations and expanding powers to track and detain migrants, adopting policies similar to those previously implemented by the Trump administration. These new measures, known as the Pact on Migration and Asylum, will take effect on June 12, aiming to prevent a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis. The EU is looking to expand on Italy's model, which includes migrant detention centers in Albania for rejected asylum seekers. Several EU nations, including Germany and Austria, are pursuing agreements to establish deportation centers in countries like Kenya. Human rights groups are raising concerns about potential illegal pushbacks and the erosion of legal protections for migrants.
