Overview

• Fifty‑two people slept beyond official capacity last night at the Ter Apel registration centre, marking a fifth consecutive day of overcrowding.
• The COA faces another €50,000 penalty from the municipality of Westerwolde, the ninth such fine since 9 September, bringing the total to €450,000.
• Demissionary asylum minister Mona Keijzer ordered the immediate relocation of family‑reunifiers from asylum centres to relatives with residence permits in private homes.
• The Council of State issued a negative advisory on Keijzer’s separate plan to prohibit priority for status holders in social housing, which she says she will continue to pursue.
• Leiden will temporarily host 70 to 80 people from Ter Apel in the Antonius Church to reduce pressure on the registration centre.
