CWN Editor's Note: The Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the EU (COMECE), joined by other Catholic and Christian organizations, issued a ten-page statement of concern about proposed new EU regulations on migrants and asylum seekers.
“Overall, we are very concerned that the proposed reform prioritizes forced return over voluntary return and adopts a punitive and security-oriented approach, which could lead to the systematic detention of migrants—including children and families—and severely restrict their rights,” the signatories stated.
