MEPs fear fundamental rights will take a hit under plans to expand EU border agency

Members of the European Parliament express worries about potential violations of fundamental rights due to proposed expansions of Frontex's mandate. Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner recently outlined plans for a comprehensive reform of Frontex, which would enhance its role in strategic planning, resource pooling for efficient returns, and support for reintegration. Additionally, the proposal includes provisions for Frontex to assist non-EU countries with deportations. Brunner discussed these plans with MEPs on the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee.
