Spain: government rejects calls to protect undocumented victims from deportation
The Spanish government has refused to follow the recommendations by the Spanish Ombudsman to protect undocumented victims of crimes from being issued a deportation order when they report a crime to the police. The recommendation followed the case of an undocumented woman in Valencia who approached the police to report mistreatment from her landlord, and ended up with a deportation order instead. The Ombudsman will consider covering the legal vulnerability of undocumented people in his annual report.
