The Belgian Chamber of Representatives concluded a night-long debate on a new stringent return policy proposed by State Secretary Nicole de Moor. The policy aims to enhance the return process for illegal residents by fortifying the Aliens Department and increasing closed return center capacities. However, it prohibits detaining minors in these centers and lacks provisions for home visits post-expulsion, leading to opposition concerns and pending amendments.
