Frontex set for new powers to deport beyond EU borders in latest overhaul

The European Commission plans to reform Frontex into a comprehensive "European return agency" on October 27, enhancing its deportation capabilities and crisis response. The proposal aims to strengthen Frontex's role in returning individuals without legal rights to stay in the EU, including new powers for operations outside EU borders. This overhaul will also focus on increasing operational capacity without drawing border guards from member states.
