EU COURT SPARKS Outrage After Blocking Migrant Criminal Deportations
— A group of European leaders is furious with the EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS for stopping countries from deporting criminal migrants. Denmark and eight other nations say these rulings make it harder to keep their citizens safe and protect national borders.
Leaders from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Poland, and Denmark sent a strong letter demanding more power to expel immigrants who break the law. They said it’s shocking that some newcomers abuse their freedom by committing crimes instead of following the rules.
The group believes the court’s decisions are tying their hands. They argue that international judges are blocking necessary deportations and taking away choices from local voters and lawmakers.
With Denmark soon leading the EU presidency, this bold move shows growing anger across Europe. Many now worry that outside courts have too much control over national safety and security.
