Nearly 70 groups hit out on Monday at EU\u00a0reforms<\/a>\u00a0to migration currently under consideration by the European Parliament, comparing them to US policy under President Donald Trump and calling on officials to abandon the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis threat is real and immediate,\u201d the wide array of associations, including European and national rights groups, said in a letter expressing concern over police raids of public and private spaces, and racial profiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey want to oblige member states to \u2018detect\u2019 undocumented people \u2014 turning everyday spaces, public services, and community interactions into tools of ICE-style<\/a> immigration enforcement,\u201d they warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration has ramped up efforts to deport millions of undocumented migrants from the United States. But raids by heavily armed, masked officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies have sparked protests<\/a> in Democratic-run cities, followed by violent crackdowns, including two<\/a> cases<\/a> where American citizens were shot dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe cannot be outraged by ICE in the United States while also supporting these practices in Europe,\u201d said Michele LeVoy of PICUM, an organisation which protects undocumented migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The migration reform pushed by the European Commission allows the creation of centres outside the EU\u2019s borders for rejected asylum seekers, so-called \u201creturn hubs\u201d. Under the reform, there would be harsher sanctions on those who refuse to leave European territory, including longer periods of detention and the confiscation of identity documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measures have already been approved by most EU states, but are condemned by the left in the European Parliament and migrant protection groups. The EU executive regularly rejects rights groups\u2019 criticism, insisting its measures respect migrants\u2019 fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brussels also says such actions are supported by a majority of citizens in Europe, where the political centre of gravity has shifted to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
