Announcement–long:

The 5th issue of the #ExternalisationBulletin is out now! 🚨

This issue focuses on the EU’s ‘Trumpian’ agenda for borders and deportations, and the increasing role of Frontex outside the EU. From visa and trade sanctions used as leverage to secretive decision-making processes, externalisation remains a dangerous and destabilising force in European policy.

In this issue:

• The growing alignment between European and US border externalisation tactics. • The EU’s push to deport more people—and the pressure it’s exerting on other countries to comply. • Frontex’s deepening role outside the EU, from Albania to West Africa, and the human rights risks that come with it. • Secretive EU migration forums like MOCADEM and their lack of public accountability.
