EU border agency Frontex paused new applications for its reintegration support program on Oct. 2 after the year's budget ran out, according to internal emails. The program, running since 2022, offers financial assistance, healthcare, vocational training and counseling to migrants deported after being refused the right to stay in the EU. The suspension comes as the bloc steps up deportations — a goal cemented in migration legislation adopted earlier this month — and before the European Commission is expected to propose expanding Frontex's mandate in returns and reintegration. The agency cannot resume the program without additional funds and is awaiting clarity on the EU budget for 2027.
