Europe returns 33000 migrants
During the first half of 2026, the European agency "Frontex" assisted in the return of more than 33,000 irregular migrants to their home countries, an increase from approximately 30,000 during the same period in 2025. Among these, 21,000 individuals returned voluntarily, compared to about 19,000 in 2025, after exhausting all legal options to remain in the European Union. The agency facilitates migrant repatriation through administrative and logistical procedures at airports in 11 European countries. Turkey, Syria, and Georgia were the most common countries of return, while Germany, France, and Cyprus recorded the highest numbers of migrant repatriations. During the second half of 2026, EU member states aim to increase return operations and establish return centers with non-EU countries to process rejected asylum seekers.
