Inhuman. Progressives in next @Europarl_EN must make sure the @EPP & Von der Leyen plan to copy UK's Rwanda scheme never materialises. Strengthen Europe's borders, but sending trafficked & vulnerable people to third countries to be processed is sick. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/03/home-office-booklet-rwanda-generally-safe-asylum-seekers?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Using "arrests" insinuates these people have done something terrible. All they want is to find safety and live a peaceful life, this is pushing people underground and away from vital support systems. bit.ly/3UTOyc9
