The EU just approved its toughest deportation law in decades: the Return Regulation (EU) 2026/2280. Critics call it "ICE-style." We test that claim and walk through what the law actually does.
We cover the single European Return Order, offshore return hubs, detention of up to 24 months, police home entry and searches, and when the rules start (most apply from 17 October 2027). We also lay out the strongest case from supporters and from critics, then take your questions live.
