Criminal asylum seekers face easier deportation, minister says

Dutch News  

Immigration minister Marjolein Faber is planning to change the rules so that asylum seekers under the age of 18 who are convicted of a serious crime can be deported more quickly. Five asylum seekers, all below the age of 18 and all in the Netherlands without family, attacked and raped a woman who had been sitting alone in a park multiple times. The change in the rules would mean “they draw the short straw”, Faber said. And they are a warning to others that we will not accept this.” Faber said she did not know if the youngsters had residency permits or where they came from, but said the IND would be able to apply the new rules to them.
