退去拒否の外国人に罰則　入管政策懇が提言了承

　出入国管理政策懇談会（法相の私的懇談会）は２９日、外国人の施設収容長期化の対応策として、国外への退去命令を拒む外国人に罰則を科すことを柱とする提言書を了承した。来月にも森雅子法相に提出。法務省・出入国在留管理庁は入管難民法の改正の検討に入る。
　不法残留などで退去命令を受け、施設に収容されている外国人は昨年末現在９４２人いる。このうち約７割に当たる６４９人が出国を拒否。日本に家族がいたり、帰国すれば生活が困窮したりするといった理由から出国を拒む外国人が多いという。（2020/06/29-21:37）

An experts panel of the Japanese government Monday approved a proposal to introduce punishment of foreigners ignoring deportation orders, as a step to resolve the issue of prolonged detentions at immigration facilities.
   The penalization is a key item in the recommendations approved by the panel, which discusses immigration policy issues for the justice minister.
   The recommendations will be submitted to Justice Minister Masako Mori as early as next month. The Justice Ministry and the Immigration Services Agency will begin work to revise the immigration law.
   At the end of 2019, 942 foreign nationals were staying in detention facilities after receiving deportation orders for reasons including illegal overstaying.
   Of the detainees, 649, or about 70 pct, refused to leave Japan. Many cited reasons such as that they will fall into poverty if they return and that they have a family in Japan.
