The EU plan for ICE-style agents to deport illegal immigrants
Could Europe see ICE-style agents deporting migrants? The EU is voting on tougher measures to tackle immigration with human rights group urging the EU parliament to reject the proposal, warning it could normalise mass detentions, surveillance and racial profiling.
Armed US ICE agents have shocked the world with aggressive crackdowns on undocumented migrants.
The EU is under pressure from far-right parties to introduce tougher measures to help control borders and deter people from entering illegally - but is this a step too far?
