The border agency in Warsaw could deploy drones, vessels and personnel. It would be the first mission in a country that does not directly border the EU. Frontex is already active in the country, but without uniformed and armed police personnel. The new talks with Senegal are coordinated in the recently created „Operational Coordination Mechanism for the External Dimension of Migration“ (MOCADEM). The basis would be a „model status agreement“ drafted by the Commission on the basis of Frontex missions in the Western Balkans. Senegal is surrounded by more than 2,600 kilometres of external border, it is therefore possible that a Frontex operation in Senegal will not focus on securing the land borders as in the Western Balkans, but on monitoring the maritime border. read more

The commissioning of the planned deportation centre at BER is planned for 2025. The Greens and the Left are critical of the building project. "I was in deportation custody in Spain for a fortnight. All our things were taken from us. There were no windows, only bare walls, we didn't know if it was day or night," a woman refugee tells the 400 or so demonstrators who have gathered in Schönefeld on Wednesday evening. They are here to demonstrate against the planned entry and exit centre at BER airport. "Let's keep fighting until there are no more deportation centres," shouts the activist from the No Border Assembly Berlin to the cheers of those present. "Deportation is torture, deportation is murder," echoed her. read more

The ASGI association has sounded an alarm in Italy over new rules, which require those accessing all public offices to have a Green Pass. This, they fear, could potentially compromise some migrants' potential to seek asylum. read more

Any migrant arriving in Italy can, in theory, present their asylum request. However, human rights groups gathering together under the ASGI (Italian Association for Juridical Studies on Immigration) umbrella are worried that new rules, which came into force on February 1, could potentially prove a barrier to some migrants beginning that process. Migrants who wish to seek asylum have to do so by presenting their request at an Italian questura, or police headquarters, and for that you now need a proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to enter the questura, the so-called the Green Pass. Even undocumented migrants in Italy could, in theory, get hold of a Green Pass and be vaccinated. But access to these procedures can vary across the country. read more

Si è concluso in tragedia il tentativo di una donna venezuelana di raggiungere l’arcipelago di Trinidad e Tobago a bordo di un gommone: la Guardia costiera locale ha aperto il fuoco contro il natante non identificato che nella tarda serata di sabato 5 febbraio era entrato nelle acque territoriali del piccolo Stato caraibico.

More and more migrants are trying to enter France from Spain through the area bordering the Mediterranean, via the French village of Cerbère. Before 2021, the majority of new arrivals came via the Atlantic coast, towards Irun and Hendaye, in the Basque Country. To avoid police checks, deployed in large numbers in the area, the migrants take more risks and go through the dangerous railway tunnel. The majority of migrants who pass through the Vermeille coast are from Algeria. The Hirak Movement, the popular protest movement that started in February 2019, had revived the hopes of Algerian youth, plagued by a lack of work and prospects. But, more than two years later, their expectations have been disappointed. read more
