At the House of Councilors plenary session, Prime Minister Suga will not proceed with further deliberation on the fact that the government and the ruling party have forgotten the enactment of amendments to the Immigration Control and Refuge Law, etc. He explained that he respected the agreement of the ruling and opposition parties.
Regarding the amendment of the Immigration Control and Refuge Law, which reviews the detention of foreigners, the government and the ruling party said that the opposition party requested the truth about the death of a Sri Lankan woman in the detention facility and could not accept the vote. Based on the above, we have forgotten the establishment in the current Diet.
Regarding this, Prime Minister Suga said at the House of Councilors plenary session on the 19th, "I would like to express my condolences to the deceased and their families."
After that, "The government submitted an amendment to address the urgent issues in immigration control administration such as deportation avoidance and long-term detention. However, it was agreed at the ruling and opposition party talks that the current Diet would not proceed with further deliberation. I know that, and the government has decided to respect this. "
