Overview

• COA reported 2,007 people in Ter Apel on Saturday night and 2,022 on Sunday night, breaching the 2,000 cap and adding €100,000 in fines to a recent total of €300,000 under the €5 million ceiling.
• The agency attributes the renewed crowding to closures of temporary reception sites and thousands of recognized refugees remaining in centers due to a housing shortage, limiting onward flow.
• Amersfoort provisionally withdrew proposed azc locations in Vathorst and Schothorst and apologized for poor consultation; a man was arrested over threats to the mayor, which the municipality says did not drive the decision.
• COA scrapped a plan in Voorhout (Teylingerdreef) to house 80 unaccompanied minors after it could not make the investment viable, the municipality of Teylingen said.
• A Groningen court heard a case on a municipality refusing returning Ukrainian refugees and promised a ruling within two weeks, a test with potential implications for local obligations under EU temporary protection.
