EU Introduces Measures to Speed Up Deportations of Irregular Migrants

EU lawmakers and member-states agree on return hubs to expedite deportations of irregular migrants.
Deal driven by pressure to improve a system where only 28% of ordered migrants depart.
New rules extend detention from 6 months to 2 years.
Home searches authorized, compared to U.S. ICE raids.
Entry bans increased to 10 years.
Rights groups call the system 'draconian' due to past failures like UK-Rwanda plan.
