The European Parliament approves a sweeping update to the EU’s migrant return system after a large vote margin, prompting high-profile chants inside the chamber. Fox News reports that the Parliament passes the Return Regulation by a vote of 418–218, triggering chants of “send them back” from right-wing lawmakers in what is described as a deeply divided session. The Washington Times likewise says lawmakers erupted into competing chants following the approval, which it characterizes as one of the toughest shifts in migration policy in decades. While sources agree the regulation is designed to speed up returns, they emphasize different aspects of the debate: conservative leaders present it as a turning point, while the overall context is one of political tension and disagreement among lawmakers. Yahoo News provides no additional details beyond the shared focus on the chants and the vote. Overall, the reporting aligns on the passage of the Return Regulation, the decisive vote count, and the audible parliamentary reaction during the decision process.
