@poldemo Sadly I don't think it's an exaggeration. This law would create mass deportation prisons, enable warrantless searches of homes & devices, and raids on community hubs based on profiling, among many other tactics that are straight out of the ICE playbook.
It has been opposed by 16 UN special rapporteurs due to such grave potential for human rights abuses, which I think shows how serious the threats are.

Urgently contact your MEPs to let them know you oppose this, especially those in the Socialists and Democracts (S&D) and Renew Europe groups: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/libe/home/members

⚠️ Tomorrow, the 9th of March, MEPs in the civil liberties committee of the European Parliament are voting on a truly chilling proposal for a new EU mass Deportation Law, aka the "Returns Regulation".I've seen a lot of bad laws in my time at EDRi but this one gets first prize for its complete lack of humanity. It is essential that MEPs reject this law when they vote tomorrow.
If you're reading this over your Sunday morning coffee, there is still *just* time to do something:

️ Tomorrow, the 9th of March, MEPs in the civil liberties committee of the European Parliament are voting on a truly chilling proposal for a new EU mass Deportation Law, aka the "Returns Regulation".As organisations like Equinox: Racial Justice Initiative, Access Now and others in the ProtectNotSurveil coalition have highlighted, this is a big step towards creating an EU version of ICE, codifying racial profiling and further criminalising solidarity and movement in Europe.
