Overview

• Since March, Brandenburg’s Eisenhüttenstadt center recorded 5 transfers to Poland out of 72 residents, according to the state interior ministry.
• Hamburg’s Dublin center reported 38 transfers to the responsible EU states during the same period, with 75 people housed there.
• The Brandenburg ministry says tighter border checks and on-the-spot rejections since April mean few Eurodac matches from Poland are sent to Eisenhüttenstadt.
• About 42 people assigned to the Eisenhüttenstadt facility have absconded or moved into church asylum, where 150 places have been created.
• The Berlin Administrative Court found the rejection of three Somalis at Frankfurt (Oder) unlawful, yet Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt says the practice will continue.
