Wake up: Frontex actively OBSTRUCTS rescue operations. On June 25th, our ship Aurora responded to a mayday relay call. But the Frontex aircraft repeatedly ignored us. Why? Because Frontex didn’t want a rescue. It wanted an interception by Libyan militias.

Call to Action: Rise up against Frontex’s role in deportations on June 20 #Refugees

Call to Action: Rise up against Frontex’s role in deportations on June 20 – Abolish Frontex European Campaign

While EU border agency Frontex was originally established to control EU’s securitised borders , it has increasingly become a key actor in deportations. What began with coordinating joint return flights has expanded to pre-departure assistance and the initiation of deportations itself. With the reform of the Common European Asylum System and the upcoming review of its mandate, a dangerous turning point is approaching. Frontex is consolidating its role in deportation governance, helping turn deportations into a routine, bureaucratised practice of the EU border regime. One that systematically violates the rights and dignity of people on the move. On June 20, World Refugee Day, we call for decentralised actions against deportations and against Frontex’s expanding role in making them possible. We must resist the growing capacity for deadly policing. Resistance begins with dismantling Frontex’s role in deportation operations. From Europe and Africa, we raise a clear message: we will not stand by while deportations are expanded, normalised, and enforced through violence against people on the move. There are many ways to take action: flyers, banners, graffiti, street posters, gatherings, speeches, art installations, demonstrations, occupations, blockades, sabotage, and more. Be creative, act together, and make the resistance visible. Find more information about the movement, action ideas, and more here . As always, please inform us if you are planning something in your city by emailing info[at]abolishfrontex.org so that we can integrate it into our communications.

@infomigrants.net misleads readers by echoing Frontex’s lies: that the CJEU “did not determine” whether Alaa Hamoudi’s pushback occurred, when it found prima facie evidence supporting exactly that, and that Frontex may ignore Article 46 if it dislikes the law. www.infomigrants.net/en/post/7108...

Border Labs How Universities Power Europe’s Border Regime #Refugees

Border Labs How Universities Power Europe’s Border Regime – Abolish Frontex European Campaign

25 March 2026 – In recent years universities all over Europe have faced criticism and protest actions in response to their ties to the fossil fuel industry and to Israel’s genocidal war machine. These protests have highlighted the extent to which universities are deeply entrenched in violent and repressive systems, providing research, data and advise to keep them running, refine and expand them. The need to secure external funding is often one of the drivers to participate in such work in the first place, especially in times where many governments impose significant cuts to higher education and research budgets. The new report ‘Border Labs How Universities Power Europe’s Border Regime’ by the Transnational Institute (TNI) and Stop Wapenhandel shows that universities are similarly deeply involved in Europe’s repressive border and migration policies in multiple ways. They receive research and innovation funding from the EU’s Framework Programmes and a range of other EU instruments; strengthen their ties with border authorities, including Frontex, and with the military and security industry; contribute to the EU’s border externalisation efforts; and sometimes seek to commercialise academic work through the market. Many people within universities produce fundamental and critical research that could pave the way for political change away from the EU’s untenable, violent and escalating border and migration policies. Students and faculty therefore have an important role in pushing universities to take action against their involvement in the border-industrial-academic complex that continuously expands and raises the walls of Fortress Europe. Read the key points and report on the website of TNI.

From cooperation to complicity: meet the companies powering the EU’s war on migrants #Refugees

From cooperation to complicity: meet the companies powering the EU’s war on migrants – Abolish Frontex European Campaign

11 March 2026 – Even as  people continue to die at Europe’s borders , little is known about the private sector’s role in implementing increasingly  draconian EU migration policies . In fact, when it comes to migration, the  cosy relationship between private companies and EU institutions is purposefully kept far from public view, escaping scrutiny  and transparency. As  our new research shows , the truth is that such companies are getting more than their fair share of face time with EU policymakers, via pitch events that create exclusive opportunities to influence public spending and policymaking on migration topics.

For the future of Frontex the Council of Europe discussed deployments in Ukraine, drone defense duties, self-deportations and much more. We have a much better suggestion: #AbolishFrontex Read the latest bulletin by Statewatch about the EU's internal discussion on border politics 👇

The 14th issue of the #ExternalisationBulletin is out now. This month’s bulletin contains details about the EU's newest plan for 'degressive’ reintegration support, other means of ‘incentivising’ self-deportations, and twenty newly-obtained Council documents. Find the issue here: buff.ly/dmMS8AK

Alaa Hamoudi was very unlucky to end up in the hands of Frontex and its Greek partners, but his luck turned when Bashar found him, and thanks to Bashar and his colleagues from @lighthousereports.com and @bellingcat.com, Alaa’s case was ultimately brought before the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social

Lighthouse Reports@lighthousereports.com · 6mo ago

It's not often we get to report on hopeful news Alaa Hamoudi won in the EU's top court against Frontex! This opens doors for many survivors of Frontex pushbacks. @bdeeb.bsky.social tells how he reported on Alaa's case back in 2020 with @bellingcat.com. And how this evidence ended up in court.
