Iceland is doubling down.
Immigration bill approved by the Minister of Justice
The immigration bill of Minister of Justice Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir has been approved by Althingi.
Iceland’s Parliament, Alþingi, passed a highly controversial immigration bill last night, bringing a contentious five-year process to a close, RÚV reports. The newly passed legislation strips asylum seekers of their rights, including access to housing and healthcare, 30 days after their applications have been rejected.
