EU Proposes Expanding Border Agency Frontex into Mass Deportation Force

This marks a significant policy shift toward aggressive migration enforcement, though details on implementation and member-state support remain unclear. The move signals a hardening EU stance on immigration, potentially affecting political dynamics and border security across Europe.
