19.05.2026, Amnesty international
Amnesty International warned that the European Parliament has voted to ramp up disproportionate requirements, sanctions and restrictions on people issued with return decisions, and to vastly expand detention for far longer periods, falling short of international legal standards. The agreement was rushed through negotiations without adequate scrutiny or meaningful human rights assessments. Far from reducing irregularity, Amnesty warns these proposals risk trapping more people in precarious situations with no legal remedy. read more

18.05.2026, European Commission
The European Commission published its 2026 State of Schengen Report on May 18, claiming the Schengen area continues to be resilient and ready for future challenges. The report's optimistic framing stands in stark contrast to what organisations including borderline-europe and Legal Centre Lesvos are documenting on the ground — rising deaths, systematic pushbacks and the criminalisation of people seeking safety. The report is published just weeks before the June 12 EU Pact implementation date. read more
18.05.2026, European Commission — Migration and Home Affairs
On May 18, 2026, Commissioners Suica and Brunner met with EU Mediterranean countries to discuss migration and border management ahead of the June 12 Pact implementation date. The meeting focused on coordinating enforcement responses across southern member states — the same countries borderline-europe documents as primary sites of pushbacks, detention and rights violations. The timing reveals how preparation for June 12 is overwhelmingly enforcement-focused rather than protection-focused. read more

Norwegian court refuses to extradite the pushback documentary filmmaker to Greece – but the EU arrest warrant remains valid in other countries. Greece is seeking up to 20 years in prison for his involvement at the EU’s external border. read more

18.05.2026, ETIAS Analysis
Denmark, currently holding the rotating EU Council presidency, has suggested delaying mandatory enforcement of the solidarity mechanism by three years after the pact takes effect in 2026. A senior analyst at the European Policy Centre warned that a collapse in solidarity could trigger a political spiral boosting far-right parties and reinstating internal border controls across Schengen. In 2025, France and Spain surpassed Germany as the main destinations for asylum seekers. read more

European ministers adopted a new interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) on May 15, which could make it easier for governments to deport migrants, including potentially transferring some people to so-called "return hubs" in third countries. read more

15.05.2026, EU Council- Migration and asylum policy
Updated EU Council data shows 24,839 irregular arrivals registered so far in 2026, with 5,812 arrivals recorded in April 2026 alone. While EU officials present declining numbers as proof that externalisation and enforcement is working, borderline-europe and civil society partners consistently document the other side of these statistics — rising deaths, longer routes and systematic rights violations that the numbers do not capture. read more
14.05.2026, legal center lesvos
Between January and April 2026, arrivals to Lesvos declined significantly while reports of pushbacks, violent interceptions, disappearances and deaths at sea continued to increase. At least 81 people were killed and 41 disappeared while attempting to reach Greece from Turkey and Libya, with several shipwrecks reportedly linked to violent interventions by the Greek or Turkish Coast Guard. Greece revoked the refugee status of 1,203 Syrians despite ongoing instability in Syria, and continued the systematic misregistration of Eritrean asylum seekers as Ethiopian nationals. read more

13.05.2026, European Commission — Migration and Home Affairs
The European Commission announced measures on May 13 aimed at better protecting migrant workers and fighting illegal employment across EU member states. Civil society organisations note the deep contradiction in an EU that simultaneously criminalises irregular entry while failing to protect workers those same systems produce — people left undocumented and exploitable precisely because legal pathways are so restricted. The measures come less than a month before the June 12 Pact implementation deadline. read more

The European Commission announced new measures on May 13, 2026 aimed at better protecting migrant workers and fighting illegal employment across EU member states. While the EU simultaneously tightens asylum and deportation rules ahead of June 12, civil society organisations note the deep contradiction in policies that criminalize irregular entry while failing to protect the workers those same systems produce, people left undocumented and exploitable precisely because legal pathways do not exist. read more
