In the course of one decade the EU external border has shifted one hundred kilometres to the East and to the South, has deterritorialised increasingly, and its guarding is becoming a European common task. FRONTEX, the "European Agency for the management of operational cooperation at the external borders," became operative in 2005. It works with rapid speed towards a pan European model of border security.

At 4am on Thursday 15th April a 40 year-old Kenyan man detained at Oakington immigration prison near Cambridge died after being refused medical care by G4S staff.

There were day-long protests and a stand-off between detainees and police following the death. More than 180 detainees broke through the gates of one of the detention centre's compounds and occupied a courtyard, preventing police and coroners officials entering the room where the man's body lay. 60 of the "ringleaders" of the protest have now been moved to other detention centres and prisons.

Stop Deportation, along with other groups in Europe, are proposing a European Week of Action Against the Deportation Machine, with a focus on joint European mass deportation flights and Frontex. The proposed date is the first week of June 2010, 1st-6th.
