"When formally ratified, the European Return Regulation will dramatically reshape how the bloc handles irregular migration. It will permit the detention of children and families for up to 24 months; expand rights for police to enter residences and possibly the offices of charities working with migrants; extend entry bans; and reduce voluntary departure windows to as few as zero days."

SeaWatch is a charity organisation funded by donations, so do support them if you can:
The new rules only came into force on Friday. Greek civil servants in the Immigration department went on strike immediately.
