New rules for entering homes during forced deportations

Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Police will be allowed to enter a residence with permission from an investigating judge to detain someone without legal stay and search for identity documents. This is only permitted between 5:00 and 21:00 as a last resort if the person poses a risk to public order or security.
- The measure applies to adults who are required to leave the country and refuse to cooperate, and it also affects anyone hosting them.
- If you give shelter to someone who meets these conditions, police can enter and search your home with a judicial warrant. You cannot appeal the judge's authorization beforehand, but any procedural errors can be challenged in court afterwards.
