EU Adopts Trump-Style Tactics: Migrant Deportations to Expand Amid Rights Concerns

• The EU is expanding its powers to track, raid, and deport migrants to “return hubs” in third countries, mirroring Trump administration tactics.
• New measures, known as the Pact on Migration and Asylum, go into effect on June 12, aiming to prevent a repeat of the 2015 migrant crisis.
• Far-right parties in Europe praise these policies, while human rights groups warn of illegal pushbacks and weakened legal protections for migrants.
• Italy's model, under PM Giorgia Meloni, includes migrant detention centers in Albania and new laws allowing the navy to halt vessels and speed up deportations.
• Concerns rise over increased surveillance, police raids, and racial profiling, with human rights groups highlighting abuses at EU borders.
