Send Rejected Asylum-Seekers Out of EU ASAP, Urges Greek Minister
Germany, Austria, Greece, Denmark and the Netherlands agreed on steps toward return hubs abroad as EU governments seek to speed deportations.
- Earlier this month, Germany, Austria, Greece, Denmark, and the Netherlands—collectively the Group of Five—agreed on concrete steps to establish migrant return hubs in non-EU countries, aiming to curb irregular migration.
- Rwanda has held preliminary discussions with some EU member states about potentially hosting facilities for transferred migrants, though officials stated that talks remain at an early stage.
- European Parliament lawmakers Tineke Strik and Anna Strolenberg visited Kigali last week, where they inspected two facilities previously prepared for Britain's abandoned deportation scheme.
- Strik and Strolenberg denounced the deportation plans as "unrealistic" and "inhumane," while rights groups expressed concerns that return hubs could undermine protections for asylum seekers.
- The five countries are expected to discuss these plans Thursday on the sidelines of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council, as Rwanda previously accepted up to 250 migrants from the United States.
