The French Senate approved a compromise extending the administrative detention of undocumented migrants on Monday. The legislation prolongs the period for which foreign nationals in irregular situations can be held while awaiting deportation. This follows a deal reached by a joint parliamentary committee. The move allows for continued detention while authorities process deportation orders. Critics raise concerns about human rights and due process, while proponents argue it’s necessary for effective immigration control. The legislation now moves forward in the French legal system. Details regarding the specific length of the extension were not provided in the source text.
