Five countries in the European Union are working on a new plan to handle migration. They want to set up what they call "return hubs."
Here is how it works: If someone comes to the EU and the government decides they cannot stay, they will be sent to these hubs. These hubs will be located in countries that are not part of the European Union.
Germany is one of the countries leading this effort. The group hopes to have these centers ready to go by 2027. Denmark, another country involved, says they hope to start sending people to these hubs as soon as next year.
The goal is to make it easier for countries to deport people who do not have legal permission to live in Europe. By using these hubs, the countries hope to manage the number of people waiting to be sent back to their home countries.
This is a big change for how the EU handles people who cross its borders. Officials say this plan will help keep the borders more secure and make the process of leaving much faster.
