Today's vote paves the way for mass detention, family separation and deportations - normalising abuse we've seen with ICE in the US. Now Commission, Council and Parliament will work to hammer out a final text. Help us stop it. Share, mobilise, sign the petition: action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-12...

French NGOs @ldh.fr @utopia56.bsky.social and @anafeasso.bsky.social accuse him of having encouraged Frontex agents to facilitate the interception of migrant boats by Libyan and Greek authorities in the Mediterranean. Fabrice Leggeri is now an MEP with far-right Rassemblement National.

Tommy Olsen, founder of @aegeanboatreport.bsky.social, has been arrested in his hometown in Norway following a European arrest warrant by Greece. His "crime"? Documenting pushbacks and helping people in need in the Aegean. This arrest is a shameful attack against solidarity and human decency.

Every day, across Europe, millions of people rely on the dedication of Personal & Household Services (PHS) workers, who provide care or domestic support for people in their homes. Help us better understand PHS by filling in the survey now:

Happy and proud to join calls to protect EU funding for social inclusion. Support must reach those who are being marginalised in our societies.

This vote seals a toxic alliance between centre-right and far-right forces, after weeks of backroom deals to kill the last remaining safeguards in a bill that will harm millions. Human dignity, freedom, equality: this vote betrays the very values the EU claims to uphold.

Identity checks, surveillance, humiliation, violence. In our new joint booklet with @enareurope.bsky.social we document how racialisation operates at and through Europe’s internal borders - with testimonies from the Basque Country, France/Italy, Germany, Croatia. Read it: picum.org/wp-content/u...

Last week, civil society organisations, advocates, activists and progressive politicians gathered to say no to the EU Deportation Regulation - right in front of the European Parliament. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻 We had to come out too.

The European Parliament is about to vote. 📢 Let's make our voices heard. Read on for what you can do - and help us share this post ❤️

Days ago, in Ravenna, Italy, police raided a hospital and launched an investigation against doctors who refused to ok immigration detention for undocumented people, citing health reasons. Full solidarity to the doctors involved, "guilty" of doing their job. bologna.repubblica.it/cronaca/2026...

Home raids. Mass surveillance. Racial profiling. With 80+ organisations, we're opposing the new EU Deportation Regulation. The proposal would expand immigration raids + surveillance and turn public spaces + services into tools of immigration enforcement. Full statement: picum.org/blog/no-to-e...

🚨 Top UN human rights experts have signed a letter to EU institutions denouncing human rights risks in the EU Deportation Regulation. This is a damning condemnation of a draconian measure that sees and treats migrants as a threat. ✉️ Read the full letter on spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBas...

We needed this news SO MUCH ❤️ The Spanish government has announced today a broad regularisation programme which could benefit around 500.000 people. At a time when a hostile environment against migrants is spreading on both sides of the Atlantic, this move shows both humanity and common sense.

2025 has not been an easy year. Yet even amid repressive policies, solidarity and resistance continues to break through. On this International Migrants Day, we share the stories that inspired and encouraged us this year. Read them all from our final newsletter: 7z96.mjt.lu/nl3/484AhyWE...

🚨 Today, the EU Council is set to endorse home raids to search for migrants. This is what a police-state looks like. We must stop this, help us share.

🔥 NEW 🔥 What does regularisation mean for people and society? Our new report tells you what 50 years of research have shown. Check it out! 📖 Read on lnkd.in/dEhcM26T

🎉 BREAKING: Human rights and transparency can’t be sidelined. Following our complaint, the EU Ombudsperson found the Commission breached its own rules. This decision should be a wake-up call for EU institutions to ensure accountability, public scrutiny, human rights protections in EU policymaking.

💜 No woman should have to choose between safety and deportation. With or without papers. Today, we're launching a new briefing outlining 6 actions the EU and member states can take to guarantee justice and protection for undocumented survivors of gender-based violence. (sneak peek in thread!)

🚨 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.

We were happy to meet the Commissioner to discuss combatting the exploitation of undocumented workers, including improving labour inspections, remedy mechanisms and regularisation programmes. Fundamental and human rights are non negotiable. The labour rights of undocumented people are no exception.

📢[NEW REPORT] Last week 26-year old Mahmoud from Palestine killed himself in immigration detention. In 2024 close to 5,000 people were locked up in detention centres in Belgium. To find out about Palestinians, and what we see week after week behind the fences read our latest report: t.ly/GGk2g

🖊️ Not one, not two, but three UN Special Rapporteurs warn that new EU migrant smuggling rules risk criminalising migration and solidarity with migrants. EU lawmakers must heed these calls and protect people's right to move and help others in need.

Truly inspiring conversations on migration organised by our friends @qcea.bsky.social. Join to hear from experts in peace, security and human rights, and learn how peacebuilding approaches can inform Europe’s migration policies and shift the narrative from fear and control to dignity and inclusion.

🔥 Solidarity with migrants is under attack. We're launching a new project to fight this. With WING, we're joining six European civil society organisations to map cases of criminalisation of solidarity and to train people and organisations to respond to this threat.

🔥 European civil society has come out strong against the EU "Deportation Regulation". Together with over 200 organisations, our call is simple: EU lawmakers must reject it. Read the full statement: picum.org/blog/over-20...

The French Constitutional Court has ruled against the extension of immigration detention in France to up to 7 months. While a good step forward, other problematic points remain. Full comment by @lacimade.org.

🚨🎧 Keep your eyes on your podcast feeds, because we've got a NEW EPISODE coming SOON! In the meantime, listen to @picumofficial.bsky.social's Silvia in episode 74, and learn how 142 people (at least!) were criminalised for acting in solidarity with people-on-the-move last year 🎧🚨

In the Netherlands, police can't enter a church during service. When a family took shelter in the Kampen church to escape their deportation, people flocked to ensure the service never stops. It's now being going on for over 8 months 🥹 This is the Europe we love.

When Europe's focus is on "protecting borders", rights violations are bound to continue. With or without investigations.

For many undocumented people, decent housing remains an illusion. In the latest issue of @feantsa.bsky.social magazine, we write about how to move forward.

🚨 New episode! 🎧 @picumofficial.bsky.social's Silvia tells us how the EU criminalised at least 142 people for solidarity with migrants last year, how activists were harassed & spied on, and how 91 people faced criminal charges for crossing borders The Civil Fleet Podcast is on all podcast services

Immigration raids and criminalisation are not a US exclusive. We spoke to @voxeurop.bsky.social about what's happening in Europe.

The next EU Anti-Racism Strategy must face the racist roots and effects of much of our migration system. Read our full submission to the consultation on the 2026-2030 strategy: picum.org/wp-content/u...

Last week, the Dutch lower chamber passed a draft law that criminalises solidarity with migrants. Today, the @volkskrant.nl takes a look at what's happening in the rest of Europe and cites our report showing at least 142 people were criminalised in 2024 alone.

Since 1957, the European Social Fund has helped deliver quality jobs and further social inclusion. The EU must protect this mission in the next EU budget. We're proud to sign this joint statement led by @easpd.eu

In Switzerland, Caroline Meijers was brought to trial because she helped a person from Syria. She's now been acquitted and it's great news. Solidarity should be celebrated, not criminalised.

The Commission's push to deregulate and "simplify" is threatening protection standards and rights, from environmental to counter-smuggling rules. Our short contribution on the Financial Times today.

Today, the Dutch Parliament is set to vote on proposals by the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV), including an amendment criminalising help for undocumented people. Solidarity should be celebrated, not criminalised. Dutch MPs must reject this amendment.

💌 The European Parliament is getting ready to vote on a new law that threatens those of us who help others in need. Let's stop this. Find out how in thread.

In Switzerland, activist Caroline Meijers is being brought to justice because she helped a Syrian asylum-seeker. Her trial starts on 8 July.

Marjan Jamali was arrested on 28 October 2023, shortly after landing on the Calabrian coast with her eight-year-old son, on charges of migrant smuggling. She'd fled domestic violence and the repression of the Iranian regime. Finally, Marjan has been acquitted.

🚨 The European Commission failed to properly assess the impact of proposed new laws against migrant smuggling. With European Digital Rights, we filed a complaint to the European Ombudsman. Yesterday, we were informed an inquiry is being opened.

Proud to join calls to invest in children and protect them from social exclusion. The next EU budget must make this a priority.
