France Plans New Immigration Law for 2025

Published: 2024-10-13

The French government is planning to introduce a new immigration law in 2025, as announced by government spokesperson Maud Bregeon.

The proposed legislation aims to extend the administrative detention period for undocumented immigrants deemed dangerous, potentially increasing it from 90 to 210 days.

This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance national security and manage immigration more effectively.

The announcement follows recent debates and legislative efforts to address immigration issues, including budget allocations for asylum policies and administrative detention centers.

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau supports the extension, emphasizing the need to reduce both legal and illegal immigration.

The government plans to engage in discussions with various parliamentary groups to shape the final proposal.
