Concerning deportation practices, the allegedly critical divide between EU citizens and third-country nationals does not seem to make much sense in practice for some &ndash; Eastern European &ndash; national groups. Initially, this paper explores the scope and scale of this increasingly salient component of the EU deportation system, by drawing on data supplied by national databases. Additionally, it examines why and how the deportation of EU nationals has gained traction across the European borderscape, a phenomenon that has much to do with rampant xeno-racist attitudes, widespread concerns over so-called &lsquo;criminal aliens&rsquo; and, last but not at all least, the street-level management of poor populations and low-profile public order issues. Finally, this paper scrutinises the strength of institutional inertias in the management of enduringly subordinated &ndash; and racialised &ndash; Eastern European populations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>10acrimmigration10adeportation of EU nationals10adeportation studies10aEU citizens’ legal regime10aEU enlargement1 aBrandariz, José, A.  uhttps://ceemr.uw.edu.pl/content/removal-eu-nationals-unaccounted-dimension-european-deportation-apparatus
