"The extended detention period is for foreign nationals who meet all three of the following criteria: they are subject to a removal order, have been convicted in the past to at least three years in prison for crimes against persons, and pose a 'real, present, and particularly serious' threat to public order."
"Last summer, a similar extension provision was struck down by the Constitutional Council, which deemed it disproportionate. This prompted lawmakers to reintroduce it with more restrictive wording that took the ruling into account."
"Undocumented foreigners who have exhausted their right of appeal and have been served with an OQRF may be detained in a centre de rétention administrative pending deportation if there is a risk they will abscond."
The French National Assembly has approved a bill extending the detention period for undocumented foreigners deemed 'dangerous' to seven months. This measure targets individuals with a removal order, past convictions of at least three years for crimes against persons, and who pose a serious threat to public order. The bill, supported by the government, passed with 345 votes in favor. It aims to address concerns raised by the Constitutional Council regarding previous legislation, affecting only a few dozen individuals annually. Additional anti-terrorism measures are also included in the bill.
