Student protest prevents Frontex recruiting event! On Wednesday, December 3rd a group of fifty students and allies on behalf of Abolish Frontex NL disrupted a networking event organized by Sefa during their ‘career week’ on behalf of Frontex.  abolishfrontex.org/blog/2025/12...

Frontex seems to be planning to to copy the deadly Libya model in West Africa. The agency will conduct aerial surveillance of the Canary route, with West African countries expected to pull back migrants trying to make it to Europe. via @matthimon.bsky.social digit.site36.net/2025/11/15/f...

💥Training for Brutality? - Stop Frontex Partnership Academies💥

Feel free to join us in Berlin!

🚨 The European Parliament is about to start debating a law that would harm millions across Europe. With 250+ groups we call on EU lawmakers to reject it.

Stop the Violence: On December 18th, International Migrants Day, we are calling for decentralised actions against the escalating militarisation of borders. We must resist the increasing capacity for deadly policing! Let's start with Frontex Training infrastructure: abolishfrontex.org/blog/2025/10...

BREAKING: This morning, autonomous activists are protesting in front of the ICMPD's Vienna Migration Conference to halt the secretive, racist and fortressifying debates that ought to take place inside. www.instagram.com/p/DQECRwWCJKd/ #w2110 #icmpd #viennamigrationconference #vmc #nobordersummit

We shouldn’t have to say this in 2025: hunting human beings is illegal––like many of Frontex’s activities, from cooperating with the Hellenic Coastguard to sharing the location of migrant boats with Libya, for which we have taken the agency to Court. www.streetpress.com/sujet/175853...

Dozens of human rights defenders, who survived grave injustice in Libya and at sea, will denounce the complicity of Italian and European governments with the clear demand: Stop the bloody deal – Stop the violence – Stand for humanity. Join the demo! ✊ abolishfrontex.org/blog/2025/10...

🚨 The EU’s new “Return Regulation” is in reality a Deportation Regulation. It expands detention - including in offshore sites - fuels racial profiling & strips away rights. Here’s why civil society is united in rejecting it ⬇️

Frontex’s budget stands at €1 billion. Yet it demands €7,680 in legal fees from a refugee who endured seven pushbacks and dared to fight back. The EU’s legal system is designed to deter, not protect. 👉 www.publico.es/sociedad/mig...

The 8th issue of the #ExternalisationBulletin is out now 🚨 This edition covers: • Stronger migration role for EU security missions • New push to label categories of countries as “safe” • States want more money for migration control in new EU budget Find the full issue here: buff.ly/ub3A6Ge

At 1035 CEST, 23.06.2025, the TROTAMAR III of @compasscollective.bsky.social could overhear a Mayday Relay from Eagle1: a rubber boat adrift, 60 people. Later, at 11:10, TROTAMAR III could overhear direct communication between the so-called Libyan Coast Guard and the Frontex Aircraft Eagle1.

🚫 1.5 times around the world – That’s how far @msfsea.bsky.social's rescue ship Geo Barents was forced to travel due to Italy’s distant port strategy. Over 160 days lost, 4 detentions, and rescues halved in 2024.

BILLIONS FOR BORDERS, PENNIES FOR PEOPLE Take action against the border-industrial-complex! Find ressources and information on how to organize here: abolishfrontex.org/take-action/

Today is #WorldRefugeeDay and you can stand up for a migration policy based on solidarity in many places. There are several demonstrations, film screenings and festivals today.

WORLD REFUGEE DAY 2025 @abolishfrontex.bsky.social

The Freedom Flotilla in the Mediterranean showed us clearly that border violence, environmental destruction, and the genocide in Palestine are all connected. In place of death and despair, we demand life and hope. Read & Sign The Madleen Declaration: www.palclimateinstitute.org/madleen-decl...

Solidarity with Sea-Eye! On Monday, the rescue ship #SeaEye5 @sea-eye.org was detained by Italian authorities. We demand the immediate release of Sea-Eye 5 and NADIR and an end to the systematic obstruction of humanitarian aid!

Ein #Frontex-Kinderbuch, das Abschiebungen als Abenteuer verharmlost, sorgte vergangene Woche für Kritik. Eine IFG-Anfrage belegt: Selbst innerhalb der EU-Grenzagentur gab es Debatten um den problematischen Inhalt und die Bildsprache: www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1191...

Karim’s case against Frontex has already made history, but now he needs your help. Stuck in Libya, he was recently diagnosed with a serious illness. We are raising €4,000 for emergency medical care, safe shelter and food. Donate now (mention “Karim” as Honoree): www.refugeesinlibya.org/donate

Today's protest at the Journée Mer & Défense meeting in Toulon, France. Solidarity with the Freedom Flotilla! Abolish Frontex!

From Fortress Europe, we send our solidarity to Los Angeles in their resistance against the US nation-state’s violent border regimes. WE HAVE ONE UNITED ENEMY. ABOLISH ICE. ABOLISH FRONTEX.

We stand with @resqship.bsky.social and the crew of #Nadir, unjustly detained in Lampedusa after rescuing 112 lives. #SavingLivesIsNotACrime

Powerful clip from the ‘72 Hours PUSH BACK FRONTEX’ event in Dakar, Senegal! It was part of a campaign to denounce the presence of Frontex in Senegal and in Africa generally, as well as the violence and repression suffered by migrants at land and sea borders. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeoW...

We are calling for actions against Frontex and the EU's border regime on & around World Refugee Day, 20 June. In the face of violence and repression, cracks are appearing in Fortress Europe, and it is more important than ever to fight for freedom of movement. 📢 abolishfrontex.org/blog/2025/04...

Why does Frontex's Director suddenly pretend to care about Refugees in Libya? His sudden ethical awakening comes just 2 weeks after the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social asked Frontex to submit a defence in our case FM v Frontex. Accountability is catching up. ilmanifesto.it/cambio-di-ro...

A ten-year-old Syrian girl was taken away by officers in front of her classmates during PE lessons in Naumburg. She is said to have begged the teacher for help. According to the district administration office, the pupil's family was to be deported to Bulgaria.

The “Hellenic colleagues” of Frontex’s Executive Director are charged with causing the shipwreck that killed 600+ asylum seekers—clearly a pushback attempt. To shield them, the ED flew to Athens the next day to publicly absolve: “The Hellenic colleagues who give their utmost to save lives.”

An ex-Frontex 'expert' ran a prison that was nicknamed the "factory of evil" because it produced record suicide rates and horrific racial abuse. Now he is Malta's special envoy to Libya, in charge of bringing down migration. What could possibly go wrong?

It would be interesting to know more about how the systemic neglect of hundreds of children in de facto detention camps - funded and monitored by the EU Commission - aligns with this lofty vision. wearesolomon.com/mag/focus-ar...

Shame on the new German government.

Ferries, not Frontex! Impressions from Boza Fii's 72h Push Back Frontex! event in Dakar, Senegal this weekend. We will continue fighting ✊

The 6th issue of the #ExternalisationBulletin is out now! 🚨 It brings together: • Analyses on EU impunity in Libya & billions to Egypt • Civil society statements on Ceuta, Libya & more • 32 leaked docs on deportation, detention & “safe third countries” Read it now: buff.ly/EtKhGlv

(1/2) While Mother’s Day was celebrated elsewhere, two mothers on a rubber boat in the Mediterranean lost their little children. Two others lost their sons. The children died of thirst after days at sea. One man died despite resuscitation. Another one was swept away the day before.

Frontex’s crocodile tears won’t hold up in court. “You can’t ‘rescue’ people and then send them back to their torturers. This thread cuts through the spin and exposes Frontex’s role in the violence in Libya. 👇

Tunisia is prohibiting undocumented migrants from receiving foreign currency and from working. The crackdown is an attempt to dry up the income of smugglers, particularly in Sfax. It has plunged already destitute sub-Saharan Africans into extreme poverty. www.infomigrants.net/en/post/6431...

Six years, with colleagues at @privacyint.bsky.social, we fought against this - sounds like it might need to be done again. Interesting timing as new EDPS is about to be appointed privacyinternational.org/advocacy/328...

#Tunisia 2500 people violently evicted today from Alamra camp, #Sfax with ZERO humane alternatives. No shelter, no dignity. Just brutality. And authorities dares to call this a "lesson" in handling migration? Tunisia is teaching the world how to trample human rights.

The only thing Executive Director Leijtens "has to do" is abide by the law governing Frontex and not “send people back to Libya.” Article 46(4) of Frontex's founding regulation obliges the Agency to terminate its unlawful provision of information to Libyan entities www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Contrary to the position of Fundamental Rights Officer @jgrimheden.bsky.social, Frontex does not make the law but must abide by it. The law—Article 46(4)— obliges it to suspend or terminate operations where there are related serious or persistent violations, such as in Greece. 🧵👇

A significant development in one of the pending legal cases against Frontex: The EU's Court of Justice wants Frontex to submit a Defence before ruling on whether the case will be admitted - earlier cases were declared inadmissible before reaching this step.

On 10 April, a year after the adoption of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, activists took to the streets across Africa and Europe. We raised awareness about its deadly consequences: This Pact Kills. If you want to join the network fighting against the pact, email [email protected].

@kunsta.bsky.social on the Advocate General’s Opinion in Hamoudi v Frontex: “The @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social should...refer the case back to the General Court to reassess the matter, taking into account that the burden of proof has shifted to Frontex.” eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2025/04/hamo...

On 18 April 2025, the Search and Identification of Missing Persons Team, jointly with the police, recovered four unidentified bodies of migrants near the oilfields of Al-Ghani and Zillah. This is no new phenomenon. Migrants across Libya have long been subjected to brutal slavery in the oilfields…..

The law is clear: Frontex must end the unlawful provision of information to Libyan actors about the location of refugee boats fleeing crimes against humanity. FM v Frontex, brought by @front-lex.bsky.social and @refugeesinlibya.bsky.social before the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social seeks exactly that

#Frontex significantly expands its drone operations: Number of flight hours over the Mediterranean increases by 50 per cent, increasing the danger of more #pullbacks by "coast guards" from Libya: digit.site36.net/2025/04/14/f...

@frontex.bsky.social has one month left to respond to the @ombudsman.europa.eu's finding of maladministration, following a complaint I had filed. Frontex had refused to disclose two key opinions issued by its Fundamental Rights Officer last year. www.ombudsman.europa.eu/en/recommend...

Without @en.sea-watch.org, the crimes of Frontex in the central Mediterranean would remain a dark mystery. Seawatch capture what our screams cannot; violent pullbacks,complicity,and death. #Frontex must be held accountable! Thanks @front-lex.bsky.social & all allies pushing FM v. Frontex forward
