The EU’s ‘return regulation’ makes your home fair game for police — and Belgium is racing to use it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When we broke the story about police raids in the EU’s deportation bill last December, comparisons to Donald Trump’s paramilitary ICE anti-migrant forces were soon being made. EU interior ministers on Thursday (1 October) in Luxembourg are now set to formally adopt the return regulation, which sets the legal framework for police to carry out raids and seize people’s “belongings, electronic devices, and other items of relevance.” The logic is part of a maximalist effort to deport people, such as
Former MEP Rachida Dati’s 2014 emails derided corruption allegations, which now form core of French trial (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Former French MEP Rachida Dati is facing intense scrutiny following allegations she took lobbying money from French energy giant GDF Suez/Engie during her time at the European Parliament, on top of a separate investigation into her ties with French car maker Nissan-Renault. The 60-year-old, who was born to Arab parents and started out as a maid, is also a former French culture and justice minister, and now mayor of the affluent 7th arrondissement of Paris.

The figure, released to EUobserver via a parliamentary demand tabled by German Green MP Julian Joswig, revealed that the German state has doled out €10.1bn in environmental bonuses between 2020 to 2026 to lure people into purchasing ele
Deporting humans becomes big business, as Brussels and Washington race to pay African countries to take them (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The EU and the US appear to be engaged in a race to sell people they want to deport to African countries, in a human commerce where the highest bidder is likely to secure the best deal. This weekend, European interior ministers are gathering in Munich, with Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, and the Netherlands expected to thrash out deportation ideas in the hopes of finally launching their dream to secure a so-called return hub, possibly in Rwanda. Among the Munich attendees will be the EU’s ho
