Belgian activists protest home raids outside minister's residence in Namur

Activists from No ICE in Belgium protested outside Maxime Prévot's home in Namur against proposed legislation allowing police home visits to arrest certain undocumented migrants, stating, "Since you want to enter our homes, we come to yours." The bill would permit police, with prior judicial authorization, to enter homes without occupant consent to detain foreigners subject to enforceable removal orders who are non-cooperative and pose a threat to public order or national security. Critics, including migration center Myria, cite privacy and home inviolability concerns. Prévot defended the measure as limited to dangerous profiles like serious crime or terrorism cases, with judicial oversight as a last resort. He acknowledged a shift from his party's 2018 opposition but argued current safeguards differ, while activists maintain the principle itself violates fundamental rights.
