入管庁、国外退去拒否に罰則検討　外国人収容長期化に対応

　法務省・出入国在留管理庁は１５日、国外退去処分を拒んだ外国人に罰則を科す方向で検討に入った。外国人の施設収容が長期化している問題に対応するため。入管難民法の早期改正に向け、７月にも本格的な検討に着手する。
　有識者でつくる入管庁の専門部会が１５日、こうした内容の提言書をまとめた。上部組織に当たる「出入国管理政策懇談会」（法相の私的懇談会）でも審議され、今月末以降に森雅子法相に提出される。（2020/06/15-20:45）

Japan's Immigration Services Agency decided Monday to work out punitive measures against foreign nationals refusing to be deported, in an effort to solve the issue of prolonged detentions of foreigners in the country.
   The decision was made in response to an expert panel's recommendations the same day that foreign nationals be obliged to leave Japan within a certain period after receiving deportation orders and that those refusing to abide by the rule face punishments, informed sources said.
   Justice Minister Masako Mori is expected to receive the recommendations as early as the end of this month, after a private council for the justice minister examines them. The agency will start full-fledged work next month to make necessary revisions to the immigration law, they said.
   Most foreigners slapped with deportation orders for reasons such as illegal stays leave Japan as told. Some, however, stay in the country because their home countries do not allow them to return and others refuse to go back home saying they will become poor, causing prolonged detentions.
   As of the end of last year, 942 foreign nationals were in detention facilities across the country. Of them, 649, or nearly 70 pct, refused to return to their home countries.
