EU faces criticism for secret police data talks with Israel: Report

(August 15, 2026)

The European Commission has been negotiating a secret agreement to share sensitive personal data with Israel’s police service, despite internal legal warnings that the deal could violate international law and put Palestinians at risk, according to a new report by civil rights group Statewatch published by Novara Media, Anadolu reports.

The draft agreement, originally negotiated with the European police agency Europol, would allow the exchange of biometric data, genetic information, location data, political views, and personal details.

Critical research indicates the deal has progressed despite a 2022 ruling by the Council of the EU’s Legal Service which deemed the proposal legally untenable.

EU Moves to Share Data With Israel That ‘Could Be Used to Kill Palestinians’

(August 4, 2026)

Under the plans, the bloc’s law enforcement agency, Europol, would exchange sensitive personal information about Palestinians with Israel’s police force, which is headquartered in the illegally occupied West Bank.

There is also concern the deal could harm members of the Palestinian diaspora, with a risk that activists in Europe could be targeted.

The data would include names, identification numbers, locations, genetic and biometric information and details about people’s political views, beliefs and personal lives.

They were asylum seekers and refugees in Minnesota. Still, ICE detained and flew them to Texas to face deportation

The refugees come from countries such as Somalia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Syria, El Salvador, Venezuela and Russia, Ball Cooper said. They entered the US legally but cannot apply for permanent status until a year after they’ve been admitted to the country, as required under US law. Ball Cooper and other advocates have been in touch with some of those refugees, who they say have not been charged with crimes or immigration violations that would leave them open to removal proceedings.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez Statement on ICE Detaining Families in Basement of LA Federal Building

Washington, June 6, 2025

LOS ANGELES, CA – Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) issued the following statement in response to disturbing reports that immigrants showing up for routine check-ins with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles were detained and held in basement rooms — some overnight — under inhumane conditions:

“These are very disturbing reports from LA‘s Roybal Federal Building. Law-abiding asylum seekers — many with kids — are being detained after showing up for routine ICE check-ins. No food. No water. Locked in holding rooms for over 12 to 24 hours.

“These are not criminals. These are families who followed the rules. Filed the paperwork. Showed up on time. Instead, they‘re being treated like they broke the law just for seeking asylum.

“One attorney reports her client was held without food or water from 2pm through the next day. His wife and 2 kids waited 12+ hours with nothing. No water. No explanation.

Tausende Hinweise auf Kriegsverbrecher unter Asylwerbern ignoriert

(March 7, 2019)

Danach gab das Bundesamt fĂŒr Migration und FlĂŒchtlinge (BAMF) von 2014 bis Anfang 2019 rund 5000 Hinweise auf „Straftaten nach dem Völkerrecht“ an das Bundeskriminalamt und den Generalbundesanwalt weiter. Von anderen Stellen seien 200 Hinweise gekommen. Doch nur in 129 FĂ€llen seien Ermittlungen aufgenommen worden. In den Jahren 2015/16, also auf dem Höhepunkt des FlĂŒchtlingszuzugs, gab es dem Bericht zufolge 3800 Hinweise, es kam jedoch nur zu 28 Ermittlungen.

„Die große Zahl der Hinweise hat es nicht zugelassen, allen zum Beispiel durch polizeiliche Vernehmungen unmittelbar nachzugehen“, sagte ein Sprecher des Bundesinnenministeriums zu „Bild“.

Laut dem „Kurier“ hatte der Syrer fĂŒr den BVT keinen unmittelbaren Nutzen gehabt, sei er doch weder als Informant noch als Quelle gefĂŒhrt worden. „Der einzige Sinn war wohl, dem Mossad einen Gefallen zu tun“, hieß es. Die Zeitung verwies auch darauf, dass der General wĂ€hrend seines Österreich-Aufenthaltes auch nach Russland gereist sei, und wertet das als Beleg dafĂŒr, dass er kein Regimegegner gewesen sein kann.
