1/4 🚨@Europarl_EN just passed the #MigrationPact.
This pact will:
❌create a dangerous regime of #MassSurveillance against migrants
❌treat people as suspects
❌lead to more tech-facilitated prisons
Read the #ProtectNotSurveil statement ➡️ edri.org/wp-content/uploads/…
ALT The EU has just passed its deadliest set of migration policies in history. Instead of focusing on social provision and safety for all, these laws will mean more criminalisation, more racial profiling, more prisons, and more weapon-like technology for policing borders.
