EU to build migrant detention centres abroad, speed up deportations

The European Union has agreed on a major change to its migration policy. The plan aims to increase the number of deportations and create detention centres in countries outside the EU. Rights groups have criticised the move, comparing it to the strict immigration policies of former US President Donald Trump. Camille Le Coz, Director of the Migration Policy Institute of Europe, told FRANCE 24 that the EU has designed the policy "to make it compatible with international law". The deal marks a significant shift in how the bloc handles migration.
