The Constitutional Court approved the return and asylum law, considering that the legislation complies with the Constitution. The court's judges voted unanimously in favor of the law, which facilitates the deportation of immigrants. This decision represents a milestone in the country's migration policy, legitimizing the stricter measures for immigration control. The court thus rejected the appeals that challenged the constitutionality of the legislation.
