In 2025, at least 110 people faced judicial proceedings in the EU for helping migrants. Most cases were in Greece (50), Poland (20), Italy (19), and France (14). Find out more in our latest report picum.org/blog/at-leas...

Today's vote paves the way for mass detention, family separation and deportations - normalising abuse we've seen with ICE in the US. Now Commission, Council and Parliament will work to hammer out a final text. Help us stop it. Share, mobilise, sign the petition: action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-12...

French NGOs @ldh.fr @utopia56.bsky.social and @anafeasso.bsky.social accuse him of having encouraged Frontex agents to facilitate the interception of migrant boats by Libyan and Greek authorities in the Mediterranean. Fabrice Leggeri is now an MEP with far-right Rassemblement National.

Tommy Olsen, founder of @aegeanboatreport.bsky.social, has been arrested in his hometown in Norway following a European arrest warrant by Greece. His "crime"? Documenting pushbacks and helping people in need in the Aegean. This arrest is a shameful attack against solidarity and human decency.

This vote seals a toxic alliance between centre-right and far-right forces, after weeks of backroom deals to kill the last remaining safeguards in a bill that will harm millions. Human dignity, freedom, equality: this vote betrays the very values the EU claims to uphold.

This law is about scapegoating undocumented people for problems our leaders won't solve - from climate change to collapsing welfare systems. Help us put humanity, solidarity and common sense back on the table.

The draft text also requires member states to deploy broad detection measures, which could take the form of mass surveillance, racial profiling, immigration raids and reporting obligations.

The EU Deportation Regulation ushers in a dystopic detention and deportation regime, with people being sent to countries they don't even know. It imposes harsh sanctions on people living with irregular status, limits access to national permits and will ultimately increase irregularity.

Days ago, in Ravenna, Italy, police raided a hospital and launched an investigation against doctors who refused to ok immigration detention for undocumented people, citing health reasons. Full solidarity to the doctors involved, "guilty" of doing their job. bologna.repubblica.it/cronaca/2026...

Home raids. Mass surveillance. Racial profiling. With 80+ organisations, we're opposing the new EU Deportation Regulation. The proposal would expand immigration raids + surveillance and turn public spaces + services into tools of immigration enforcement. Full statement: picum.org/blog/no-to-e...

🚨 Top UN human rights experts have signed a letter to EU institutions denouncing human rights risks in the EU Deportation Regulation. This is a damning condemnation of a draconian measure that sees and treats migrants as a threat. ✉️ Read the full letter on spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBas...

We hope more governments will follow this example and invest in policies that protect, empower and include people, and make societies stronger.

This move is a powerful reminder that regularisation is not only possible - it works, and it’s the right thing to do. For thousands of undocumented people who have built their lives in Spain, this could mean dignity, stability and access to basic rights.

Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picumofficial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Applicants must have been living in Spain for at least 5 months, with various documents accepted as proof, and must not have a criminal record. The measure ⁠does not require approval by the Congress.

Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picumofficial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Successful applicants would get a one-year residence permit, after which they would be able to access a permanent one.

We needed this news SO MUCH ❤️ The Spanish government has announced today a broad regularisation programme which could benefit around 500.000 people. At a time when a hostile environment against migrants is spreading on both sides of the Atlantic, this move shows both humanity and common sense.

The Council’s position goes against basic humanity and EU values. Now it is up to the European Parliament to reject this approach. Migration governance must be rooted in dignity and rights – not fear, racism, or exclusion.

152

Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picumofficial.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

This so-called ‘Return Regulation’ ushers in a deportation regime that entrenches punishment, violence, and discrimination. Instead of investing in safety, protection, and inclusion, the EU is choosing policies that will push more people into danger and legal limbo.

110

Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picumofficial.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

🚨 entry bans of up to 20 years, extendable to an indefinite duration when security risks are invoked, as well as disproportionate obligations and penalties on people deemed non cooperative in the return procedure.

Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picumofficial.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

🚨 extended derogations from fundamental rights for migrants considered a risk to national security and public policy, further blurring the lines between criminal law and migration and reinforcing dangerous stereotypes.

🚨 possibility for member states to establish deportation centres outside the EU, leading to arbitrary detention, serious accountability and human rights monitoring challenges, risks of chain deportations among others;

🚨 expanded grounds for detention, including absence of family ties, engaging in irregular work and insufficient means of subsistence, de facto criminalising poverty and exclusion;

On 8th December, the Council is expected to vote on its negotiating position on the draft Return Regulation, the EU’s flagship initiative to escalate immigration detention and deportations of undocumented people, including to countries outside the EU.

Despite these challenges, one conclusion is clear: Regularisation works. It changes lives, strengthens communities, and benefits society as a whole.

020

Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picumofficial.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Gains can be short-lived if people cannot access secure, long-term residence status. Regularisation measures must be inclusive and fair, and they must lead towards secure status to truly harness its compounding benefits.

Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picumofficial.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Our research also highlights important limitations and gaps. Most existing studies focus on time-limited programmes, making it harder to fully understand the impacts of ongoing mechanisms. High fees or burdensome procedures can also undermine outcomes by pushing people into debt or insecurity.

✔️ Improvements in wellbeing and mental health ✔️ Better working conditions ✔️ Stronger family and community stability ✔️ Tangible benefits for governments through increased contributions ✔️ Even unexpected gains, like higher birthweights among children born after their parents’ regularisation
