Deportation of Infiltrators Who Support the Regime in the State of Eritrea and Infiltrators Who Committed Offenses in the State of Israel Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק גירוש מסתננים תומכי המשטר במדינת אריתריאה ומסתננים שביצעו עבירות במדינת ישראל

TL;DRA bill allowing the deportation of infiltrators who support the Eritrean regime and infiltrators who were convicted of or charged with offenses in Israel.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal provides that an infiltrator who supports the Eritrean regime will be deported from Israel immediately, if it is proven that they support the regime (including participation in events of the Eritrean embassy or displaying a picture of the President of Eritrea). In addition, an infiltrator who was convicted of an offense or against whom an indictment was filed may be deported by determination of the Minister of Interior, if they are convinced that the interest in deporting them outweighs the interest in prosecuting them in Israel. The proposal sets a 30-day right to a hearing for the infiltrator before the deportation decision is made.
