France Prolongs Detention for ‘Dangerous’ Migrants to 210 Days
(MENAFN) The French Parliament has enacted legislation that significantly lengthens the maximum administrative detention duration for foreign nationals labeled as "dangerous" while awaiting deportation—from 90 days up to 210 days.
This legislation secured final approval in the Senate, the upper chamber of Parliament, with 228 senators voting in favor and 108 opposing, according to media.
Having already passed the National Assembly, the bill has now completed all stages of the legislative process.
Under previous rules, foreign nationals undergoing deportation could be held for no more than 90 days in administrative detention facilities. The new law expands this limit to 210 days for those deemed dangerous, matching the detention timeframe currently applied to individuals convicted of terrorism offenses.
French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau praised the Senate’s decision on X, describing the bill’s passage as a “major step forward.”
This legal change aligns with the French government’s broader initiative to tighten immigration enforcement and expedite deportations, focusing particularly on individuals considered threats to national security.
