ICE violence is happening on EU territory. Between Aug 2025 and Apr 2026, ICE passed through Polish airports and travelled through Polish territory during four operations, forcibly removing more than 50 people to Ukraine – an active war zone. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Ministers from 46 @coe.int states meet in Chișinău this May to adopt a Political Declaration on the European Convention on Human Rights & migration. @amnesty.org, @icjurists.bsky.social & @fidh-official.bsky.social warn about risks this poses to hard-won human rights & legal standards in Europe.

Five ICE flights passed through Shannon Airport between May 2025 and February 2026, taking people to South Sudan, Eswatini, Rwanda and Israel. In March 2026, another operation took Ukrainians through Poland and back to Ukraine. Ireland must refuse to facilitate #ICE www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

@amnesty.org is appalled by this BBC reportage, including alarming video & photo evidence, on violent pushbacks in Greece & the reported recruitment of migrants as "mercenaries” by Greek officials to carry out these dangerous and illegal operations 🧵 www.bbc.com/news/article...

"And while the Trump administration builds a race-based welcome for white South Africans, it’s also building a race-based enforcement apparatus." A must read for anyone working on asylum and migration policies. theconversation.com/us-refugee-p...

An ICE deportation flight on a small Journey jet just departed Phoenix, AZ for Portsmouth, NH. The flight, believed to be carrying at least some Ukrainian nationals, is scheduled to land in Poland early Tuesday morning.

Four more men removed by the United States on an ICE flight arrived in Eswatini on 11 March and are being detained in the Matsapha Correctional Complex, a maximum-security prison located some 2 kms from the country’s international airport. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

BREAKING: @europarl.europa.eu LIBE committee greenlights punitive detention and deportation plans. Parliament’s position follows chaotic & rushed negotiations with a new text presented by @eppgroup.bsky.social just days ago that lacks adequate scrutiny, consultations or human rights assessments.

An excellent analysis, highly recommended

Authorities in Aotearoa New Zealand are subjecting people in the Pacific islands of Tuvalu and Kiribati at risk of climate related harm to discriminatory migration policies that tear families apart and disregard children’s rights. Read the full story at this link www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

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.)

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...

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...
