According to Reuters,
Australia is investigating 201 cases of possible wrongful detention and
deportation, uncovered since a mentally ill Australian was mistakenly detained
as an illegal immigrant and another held and mistakenly deported. The
government had previously admitted that at least 33 Australians were wrongfully
detained in the past two years and set up a closed inquiry into detention
centers.

According to Expatica News,
Spain's government has told undocumented immigrants who were not eligible for
its unprecedented amnesty that they must leave the country. Some 700,000 illegal
immigrants to Spain, mostly from Latin America and North Africa, applied for the
amnesty over the three-month period that ended on 7 May. Just over 600,000 of
them — those who could demonstrate they were in Spain for six months beginning
last year and who have work contracts for at least six months — are expected
to be granted documentation in the coming weeks.
