2/ The prioritised topics for the coming terms include:
• a new deportation law
• more attempts to set up deportation camps (“return hubs”) in non-EU states
• new “partnerships” with non-EU states to try to control migration
• increased police powers.
These are all in addition to implementing the harmful policies embedded in the #MigrationPact.

As part of Migreurop, we will be at the Sabir Festival in Rome this week and focussing on the topic of Frontex's 20 years of war on migrants in defiance of rights.
In particular, Statewatch Researcher Yasha will lead a session on the role of Frontex in the new #MigrationPact

#EU: Council's role in “operationalising” the #MigrationPact
In a discussion paper, the Presidency outlines the involvement of Member States & Council as "crucial to preserve the positive momentum and enable the new framework to be successfully appropriated”
For migrants & asylum seekers, this "success" means:
❎ increased detention
❎ reduced safeguards
❎ increased rejections of applications
❎ increased deaths of people on the move
❎ increase in surveillance
#EU: How biometric #surveillance is rooted in colonial practices of dominance
"Although framed as purely technical adjustments, the reality is far more malicious. The changes to EURODAC will massively exacerbate violence against people on the move"

Malgré les avertissements de dizaines d'ONG, le Parlement européen a adopté le #MigrationPact qui durcit encore les politiques migratoires aggravant les atteintes portées aux droits fondamentaux des personnes migrantes. https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2024/04/10/le-parlement-europeen-valide-le-pacte-sur-la-migration-et-l-asile_6227089_3210.html

👁️ Yesterday, the @europarl_en adopted the reform of #EURODAC as part of the harmful #MigrationPact. This will turn the database into a #MassSurveillance tool & further normalise biometric identification, bulk data collection & digital surveillance.

1/4 🚨 @Europarl_EN just passed the #MigrationPact.
This pact will:
❌create a dangerous regime of #MassSurveillance against migrants
❌treat people as suspects
❌lead to more tech-facilitated prisons

4/4 The Greek case makes it irrefutable that the #MigrationPact is EU's attempt to codify in law surveillance practices that not only gravely harm the rights of migrants but which are illegal🙅♀️
❌ The EU can’t hide its racist double standards on migration anymore ❌
2/4 The endless expansion of #EURODAC, as part of the #MigrationPact will specifically:
❌ turn EU's asylum database into a tool of #MassSurveillance
❌ record & process huge amounts of personal data about migrants and asylum seekers, which is intrusive & disproportionate

The #EU passed a comprehensive #MigrationPact that they have been working on for years. Some said it's too harsh, others not harsh enough.
I don't have any idea what is in it. I am just so happy and impressed that they could pass anything at all, illustrating the glory of the EU.
#Europe, just like the #US, has its #fascists and fascist-adjacent forces whose goal is to prevent any agreement or solution. On everything not just #migration.
And they just got their asses kicked.
The passing of the #MigrationPact shows a clear priority of state interests over human rights.
But as #EU member states and agencies find "solidarity" in border policing, surveillance and violence, civil society must find #solidarity in our resistance.
European parliament president says ‘history made’ with vote to pass changes, which have been criticised by NGOs https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/10/eu-passes-asylum-and-migration-pact-after-eight-years-of-deadlock #migrationpact #europe #asylum #refugees
Immigration law is based on a misunderstanding.
Lawmaking means writing laws to protect the people; it’s not the power to pick and choose who the law applies to. If citizenship is privilege, then by definition it’s not law.
