In May, Tunisian lawyer and journalist Sonia Dahmani was handed her second conviction of the year. Her latest sentence, a two-year jail term, came in reaction to her criticism of poor prison conditions. She previously received an 18-month sentence for calling out the government’s anti-migrant policies. Dahmani is one of several victims of President Saied's increasing repressive behavior. Since 2023 Saied's crackdown targets anti-racism campaigns, branding organizations that stand up for migrants' rights as traitors and foreign agents. read more

More than a million migrants living in Spain have applied for residence permits. The government’s forecasts have been far exceeded. The question now is how many applications will actually be approved. This is because, as civil society organisations have pointed out, the deadline was too short for many people to provide the required documents. read more

Sweden is implementing the EU Asylum Pact with maximum severity while additionally introducing from 13 July a so called informer law requiring six state agencies including the tax authority and social services to report undocumented people to police. From 12 July onwards permanent residence permits can no longer be issued in asylum cases, only temporary ones. Legal expert Sofia Ronnow Pessah describes the combined measures as a fundamental redefinition of what it means to live in Sweden without a Swedish passport. read more

The day of protest against “illegal” migrants in South Africa escalated into violence in many places. Many foreigners are fleeing, but it’s not that simple. Xenophobic groups had set June 30 as a deadline for departure, triggering a fear of death among migrants. read more

On average, about 40,000 asylum seekers arrive on Lampedusa each year. However, many stay only 24 to 48 hours, isolated from the island’s residents and tourists, before being transported on to Sicily. With the visit of Pope Leo XIV, they are once again in the spotlight. read more

The Ministry of the Interior plans to allow government agencies to train automated systems using data from asylum and residency proceedings. This applies not only to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and immigration authorities, but also to the police. In addition to general data protection concerns, experts warn in particular against the perpetuation of discrimination through the use of AI. read more

In Sudan, a large-scale attack on the strategically important city of Al-Obeid is looming. The ‘Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) militia, backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has virtually surrounded the city and is attacking civilian targets with drones. Around half a million people live in the region and could be subjected to violence, torture and murder. During the siege of the city of Al-Fashir, the RSF is accused of crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing. read more

In the report, “City Under Siege, Children Under Fire”, Amnesty International documents crimes against humanity committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) during the siege of the Sudanese city of Al-Fashir in North Darfur between early 2024 and October 2025. Amnesty refers to this as an ethnic cleansing campaign against the city’s non-Arab civilian population. Civilians were systematically prevented by force from fleeing, abducted and killed. Children were also specifically targeted by the RSF. read more

Donald Trump has immigrants detained in the U.S. and then rigorously deported. But not all of them can return to their home countries. They can still be deported, however—for example, to a small island nation in the Pacific. read more

30.06.2026, IOM Missing Migrants Project
The IOM Missing Migrants Project records the last documented death in the Mediterranean as occurring on 30 June 2026, while the overall number of deaths and disappearances on this route in 2026 continues to rise. Sicilian ports including Palermo remain central disembarkation points for survivors of shipwrecks in the Central Mediterranean. The data underscores that despite the EU Asylum Pact entering into force on 12 June 2026 and the Return Regulation on 17 June, dangerous crossings are continuing unabated. read more

Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced he would end Germany's extended internal border controls once the GEAS reform ensures effective EU external border protection. Critics warn this marks the beginning of a new chapter of sealing off borders, simply shifting the focus entirely to the EU's external frontiers rather than reducing the overall restrictiveness of migration policy. read more
30.06.2026, Amnesty International France
Amnesty International France describes the EU Asylum Pact as an unprecedented rollback in European migration policy and warns that the so called fiction of non-entry effectively strips people on European soil of their legal rights. The new return hubs would send people to countries with which they have no connection for up to two years, endangering the non-refoulement principle under international law. Amnesty particularly criticises how the removal of the suspensive effect of appeals in accelerated deportation proceedings undermines the right to a fair procedure. While France has stated it will not for now establish return hubs, numerous other EU member states are already actively preparing to do so. read more

Anti-migrant groups in South Africa had set an unofficial deadline of 30 June for undocumented foreign nationals to leave the country, falsely threatening arrest otherwise. Thousands of foreign nationals are camping outside consulates and in emergency shelters. Several African countries have already sent aircraft and buses to repatriate their nationals, while President Cyril Ramaphosa condemned the threats as unlawful vigilantism. The events reflect a broader pattern of political instrumentalisation of anti-migration sentiment ahead of South Africa's November elections. read more

UNHCR documents in its weekly update of 29 June 2026 that over 4,700 people have arrived in Italy by sea since the start of 2026, primarily via the Central Mediterranean route from Tunisia and Libya. Italy remains one of four member states formally recognised by the European Commission as being under acute migratory pressure and eligible to access the EU solidarity pool. The data is published in the context of the new GEAS solidarity mechanism that has been mandatory since 12 June 2026. read more

Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt plans to establish a permanent deportation airlift to Afghanistan with up to three charter flights per month and additional individual returns via scheduled flights. In June 2026 Germany already deported 32 Afghans by charter, including those convicted of rape, homicide and serious sexual abuse of children. According to BAMF at least 100 further Afghans in detention are ready for deportation. PRO ASYL Director Helen Rezene criticised Germany for normalising an internationally ostracised regime through the deportation deal, describing it as devastating for human rights and foolish for foreign policy. read more

At the start of Ireland's EU Council Presidency on 29 June 2026, the International Organization for Migration called on member states to translate the hard fought Asylum Pact reforms into credible, evidence based results. While irregular arrivals to the EU have declined, the human cost along migration routes remains high, with the rate of fatalities in the Central Mediterranean underscoring persistent risks faced by migrants. IOM Director Lukas Gehrke stressed that the EU now faces the task of turning hard fought reforms into credible results. The organisation calls for strengthened evidence driven governance and warns against advancing return agreements without sufficient safeguards for fundamental rights. read more

Le Figaro published a commentary on 27 June analysing why Emmanuel Macron's rejection of EU deportation centres outside the bloc is leaving France increasingly isolated within Europe. Macron had stated that France would not establish return hubs, describing them as neither effective nor consistent with European values. The paper describes Macron as Europe's laggard on this issue and contrasts France's position with faster-moving neighbours Germany, Denmark, Austria and the Netherlands, all of which are already in negotiations with African third countries. Le Figaro argues that France's reluctance reflects weakness rather than principle and is leaving the country behind in shaping EU migration policy. read more
