Valsamis Mitsilegas

• The aim of the article is to fill a gap in the literature on the externalisation of immigration control byfocusing not on practices of extraterritorial immigration control but on the externalisation of immi-gration controlatthe EU external border. The article will examine four parallel and inter-relatedtrends of preventive injustice on the border: the denial of law and pushbacks, and their handling byjudicial authorities and EU institutions and agencies; the emerging framework of theinstrumentalisation of migration; the normalisation of border procedures based on the fiction of‘non-entry’; and detention of third-country nationals at the border, to back up non-entry policies.The article will highlight the rule of law deficit such externalisation entails.
