The legislation is designed to simplify and speed up deportation procedures while respecting international law and protecting fundamental human rights. The rules also allow authorities to detain individuals subject to deportation if they are considered likely to flee, refuse to cooperate, or pose a security threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The US Department of Homeland Security has ordered ICE to begin raids and deport illegal immigrants involved in the voting scandal. Detention can last up to 24 months, with a possible extension of six months under certain circumstances. Authorities may also require affected individuals to check in regularly, stay in designated areas, or comply with electronic control measures. «An extension of up to six months in total will be possible if circumstances change, new information becomes available, or cooperation with a third country improves», the parliament said. In addition, national authorities will be allowed to conduct investigations to facilitate return, including searches of residential premises and personal belongings, subject to judicial or administrative authorization and compliance with legal safeguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A key provision of the legislation allows member States of the European Union to transfer migrants subject to deportation to special «return centers» in non-EU countries that agree to accept them.

However, those living in EU countries illegally may face faster deportation procedures, stricter monitoring requirements and longer periods of detention under the new system. In addition, if a Kenyan staying in the United States overstays his stay in the European Union and does not comply with the decision to return, he must be banned from entering the European Union.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"title":85,"value":86},"Align Left","left",[88,91,95,99],{"id":69,"title":89,"alias":90,"is_current":11},"Republic of Kenya","republic-of-kenya",{"id":92,"title":93,"alias":94,"is_current":11},20,"Legislation","legislation",{"id":96,"title":97,"alias":98,"is_current":11},36,"Safety","safety",{"id":100,"title":101,"alias":102,"is_current":11},28,"Migration","migration",[],[105],{"id":20,"title":21,"fullTitle":22,"description":23,"icon":8,"alias":24,"color":10,"isShowOnMainPage":11,"isShowOnTopMenu":11},[107],{"id":26,"title":38,"alias":39},[],{"id":110,"title":111,"slug":112},92,"The Anti-Counterfeiting Authority (ACA) is launching a digital verification system to protect consumers from counterfeiting","the-anti-counterfeiting-authority-aca-is-launching-a-digital-verification-system-to-protect-consumers-from-counterfeiting",true,[115,137,159,183,200,222],{"id":110,"title":111,"alias":112,"description":116,"publishedAt":117,"previewImage":118,"views":47,"tags":119,"categories":133,"countryCategories":136,"relatedPosts":-1},"\u003Cp>The Anti-Counterfeiting Authority (ACA) has introduced a new digital verification system designed to help consumers identify genuine goods and curb the growing trade in counterfeit products.\u003C\u002Fp>","25-06-2026 15:30","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.the-port-brief.co.tz\u002Fimage\u002Fpost\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F24\u002F4YM6Wl7ywDQVYMRwRSCNDyMzdo9mp6HBreQ0GFwp.webp",[120,124,128,129],{"id":121,"title":122,"alias":123,"is_current":11},13,"Economy","economy",{"id":125,"title":126,"alias":127,"is_current":11},42,"Technologies","technologies",{"id":96,"title":97,"alias":98,"is_current":11},{"id":130,"title":131,"alias":132,"is_current":11},19,"Law","law",[134,135],{"id":20,"title":21,"fullTitle":22,"description":23,"icon":8,"alias":24,"color":10,"isShowOnMainPage":11,"isShowOnTopMenu":11},{"id":31,"title":32,"fullTitle":32,"description":33,"icon":8,"alias":34,"color":35,"isShowOnMainPage":11,"isShowOnTopMenu":11},[],{"id":138,"title":139,"alias":140,"description":141,"publishedAt":142,"previewImage":143,"views":69,"tags":144,"categories":155,"countryCategories":157,"relatedPosts":-1},91,"The Parliament of Kenya approves creation of National Cybersecurity Agency to strengthen digital security","the-parliament-of-kenya-approves-creation-of-national-cybersecurity-agency-to-strengthen-digital-security","\u003Cp>The Kenyan Parliament has approved the National Cybersecurity Agency Ordinance of 2026, paving the way for the establishment of the National Cybersecurity Agency (NCSA).\u003C\u002Fp>","25-06-2026 11:30","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.the-port-brief.co.tz\u002Fimage\u002Fpost\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F24\u002FsUAQ1GfXfZA9JKmezeJl9X1iezV0xpSPSnHGKMRW.webp",[145,146,150,154],{"id":69,"title":89,"alias":90,"is_current":11},{"id":147,"title":148,"alias":149,"is_current":11},34,"Digitalization","digitalization",{"id":151,"title":152,"alias":153,"is_current":11},35,"Information security","information-security",{"id":125,"title":126,"alias":127,"is_current":11},[156],{"id":31,"title":32,"fullTitle":32,"description":33,"icon":8,"alias":34,"color":35,"isShowOnMainPage":11,"isShowOnTopMenu":11},[158],{"id":26,"title":38,"alias":39},{"id":160,"title":161,"alias":162,"description":163,"publishedAt":164,"previewImage":165,"views":166,"tags":167,"categories":180,"countryCategories":182,"relatedPosts":-1},90,"Zimbabwe's parliament passed a bill to amend the Constitution amid heated national debates","zimbabwes-parliament-passed-a-bill-to-amend-the-constitution-amid-heated-national-debates","\u003Cp>The Parliament of Zimbabwe approved the bill on amendments to the Constitution No. 3 (CAB3), as 216 deputies supported the changes, while 42 opposed them, which made it possible to overcome the constitutional barrier of two-thirds of the votes.
