To combat the surge in immigration, Maloney's government secured deals with countries like Tunisia and Libya, promising financial aid in exchange for cooperation in curtailing migrant departures. These policies initially struggled to yield results, but recent reports suggest that they are beginning to take effect.

The government anticipates that these centers will manage up to 36,000 asylum seekers annually.
