The US has both the international and domestic tools to address the concerns it has raised, without undermining or overturning the multilateral agreements or weakening protections for refugees. The agenda behind this proposal goes far beyond "fixing" the asylum system www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

The best analysis on current migration policies I have read all summer, applicable not only to the UK but also to most EU countries. Cheap political manipulation produces misinformation, fueling increasing draconian and ineffective anti-migration measures www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is UNHCR's chief Filippo Grandi advocating for a better global protection system for refugees - or is he advocating for more money to the agency? Further proof, if any were needed, of the clash between UNHCR protection and assistance mandates

While the world is burning and Gaza is starving, the UK government is intent on demonizing an underclass of workers whose exploitation is created by the government's own migration and asylum policies.

It has been described as a ‘game-changer for human rights’, but what does the #ICJ Advisory Opinion issued overnight signal for #refugees and other people displaced in the context of #climate change? @profjmcadam.bsky.social finds some answers: researchinginternaldisplacement.org/short_pieces...

"That the Home Office sent a removal letter to an eleven-year-old is not a clerical error. It is the system working as designed." @nandosigona.bsky.social on the UK migration system intentionally splitting families apart theconversation.com/how-the-uks-...

Very concerning. I have an idea. Two, in fact. Give asylum seekers the right to work. And increase the restrictions to betting shops. (Or close them down, ideally.)

🔴La Cour nationale du droit d’asile (CNDA) vient de reconnaître le statut de réfugié aux Palestinien·nes de Gaza.

The global asylum system is falling apart, says @economist.com. Indeed. What should replace it? More of the same? A new system cannot be imagined without a proper analysis of the colonial roots of this one - and efforts to dismantle them. www.economist.com/briefing/202...

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

"When a government acts for ulterior motives, harms civilians and leads to the killing of innocent people, the orders it issues are clearly illegal, and we must not obey them" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

More than 300 Foreign Office staff raised concerns about potential UK "complicity" in Israel's conduct in Gaza. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The ICE raids are rooted in discrimination & racial profiling. People have the right to protest. President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to LA is not about protecting communities, it is about crushing dissent and instilling fear. www.amnestyusa.org/press-releas...

I'll say it over and over again; you can't build the mass deportation machine without first building the police state machine.

Paraphrasing David Manne: in a system underpinned by an extreme deterrence agenda, the basic rights and dignity of people are essentially irrelevant #australia #nauru www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

USA: Trump’s travel ban will harm people seeking safety, spread hate and discrimination www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

President Trump’s new travel ban is discriminatory, racist, and downright cruel. By targeting people based on their nationality, this ban only spreads disinformation and hate. Detailed Amnesty International's reaction coming soon

Our latest on the seasonal worker visa. What jumped out at me when reading this government-commissioned report is that farm-owners will quite openly say that they prefer migrant workers to accrue huge levels of debt, because this pushes them to work harder so that they can pay it off.

‘He lived a full life, fought a good fight’ What a beautiful epitaph www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

"Sending people to countries to which they have no connection, no support and no prospects, or may have only briefly transited through, is not only chaotic and arbitrary, but also devastating on a human level"

But also: deportations without due process are illegal, whether the person you're deporting has regular or irregular migration status www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You must be doing something right if the Kremlin bans you #undesirable www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

While @ec.europa.eu defends declaring Tunisia a safe country to return Tunisians to, @amnesty.org’s @oliviasundberg.bsky.social warns that the assessment “absolutely downplays the human rights backsliding that we've seen in the last few years”. Via @euobserver.com 👇

"In many cases, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 seems to have been misapplied to deny due process, independent review and court access... The lack of due process resulted in arbitrary deportation decisions against many people who were reportedly not involved with gangs" www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Last week, I was starstruck and positively stoked to sit down w @alixdunn.com and three incredible co-panelists to talk UK politics and broligarchy at the Computer Says Maybe live show in London. The show is now available on CSM's podcast feed – take a listen! www.saysmaybe.com/podcast/ai-c...

With the Employment Rights Bill going through Parliament right now, we have a singular opportunity to turn the tide on the rampant labour exploitation that migrant workers face in this country. Our latest video highlights the problems caused by restrictive visa systems, and the essential solutions.

1/3 During the Biden administration, the CBP One App was the only means of entering the United States to seek asylum. Its use as a way to limit access to US territory to seek protection was deeply problematic. Amnesty Int'l called it out www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state in last fiscal yr: "D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

At @amnesty.org, we are launching #UndoTheDeadline campaign to amplify the voices of Afghans at risk of unlawful deportation, advocate for the respect of their human rights and raise awareness about the urgent need to stop their forced deportations from Pakistan. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

For Javed, the threat of deportation means more than just losing his home – it means robbing his daughters of the opportunity to learn and grow. “When the rumors of deportation spread, my daughters were heartbroken, crying at the thought of losing their education”

Cualquier visado que vincule a una persona con su empleador al punto de que su estadía en un país dependa de esa relación deja una gran puerta abierta a abusos. La única salida ante este dilema es la abolición de los visados vinculados y su sustitución por permisos de trabajo abiertos.

Authoritarian measures with no legal basis and no rational policy goal. Yet, real people - children, women and men of flesh and blood - will have to deal with their real life consequences for years to come

Poland: Suspending the right to seek asylum ‘flagrantly unlawful’. Polish President Andrzej Duda signed into law an unconscionable bill, which allows Polish authorities to suspend the right to asylum for up to 60 days at a time🧵 www.bbc.com/news/article...

It simultaneously infringes on the Polish constitution, EU law and international law. Shocking even more, as the justice minister used to be a well known human rights activist, and the vice-minister of interior in charge of migration - a renowned migration scholar. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Last month, President Trump issued an Executive Order authorizing sanctions on the ICC and its Chief Prosecutor. The US sanctions pose a dire threat to the ICC, as well as to the broader international rule of law and its multilateral system. Here's what you need to know 👇

Afghan refugees have put years of hard work into rebuilding their lives in Pakistan. Yes, the Pakistani authorities are subjecting them to arbitrary decisions shrouded in secrecy. Pakistan must immediately withdraw the 'Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan'.

There is a troubling connection between Bukele’s “security” model in El Salvador and recent US actions targeting migrants and people seeking safety. Both rely on a lack of due process and the criminalization of individuals based on discriminatory criteria. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...
