Europe repatriates 33,000 migrants
The European Border Agency Frontex reported that during the first half of 2026, EU countries deported over 33,000 irregular migrants back to their countries, marking a slight increase compared to last year. It was clarified that 21,000 of these individuals returned voluntarily. Turkey, Syria, and Georgia were among the most common countries to which their nationals were returned, while Germany, France, and Cyprus recorded the highest number of deportation operations. Member states are working to increase migrant return procedures following the implementation of the new Migration and Asylum Pact, along with the establishment of return centers outside the European Union to process rejected asylum applicants.
