European Union officials are on the brink of completing substantial revisions to the bloc's migration system. These changes include stricter deportation processes and enhanced detention measures.

Despite criticism from various human rights organizations, the EU's strategy has garnered support amid a decade-long debate over migration spurred by far-right political gains. The anticipated reforms are part of a larger effort to exert greater control over migration, addressing pressures from within member states.

The proposed migration pact, calling for increased deportations and the creation of 'return hubs,' seeks to resolve longstanding disparities in EU migration policy. As talks with the European Parliament loom, the EU's commitment to revising its approach remains firm, despite anticipated challenges.
