The Federal Law is aimed at improving the Russian Federation migration legislation concerning statutory regulation of issues of detaining foreign nationals and stateless persons subject to administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation, deportation or readmission, in special facilities of the Russian Federal Migration Service (FMS).
To this end, the Federal Law amends the Federal Law On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation establishing procedures for detaining foreign citizens and stateless persons in Russian FMS facilities subject to administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation, deportation or readmission, and establishes that the list of federal executive migration officials, as well as their territorial agencies, empowered to make decisions on deportation or readmission, is to be approved by this federal agency.
Furthermore, the Federal Law introduces administrative liability of foreign citizens and stateless persons for administrative offenses committed during their stay in special Russian FMS facilities, and specifies procedures for civil proceedings in cases arising from said legal relations.
