British vs Irish – asylum dispute intensifies: police warned

Date:

The dispute between Ireland and Britain over migrants continuing to come to the island via the English Channel is becoming increasingly heated. Extra police officers must prevent migrants from infiltrating the open border between Northern Ireland and the EU member state.

People without the necessary papers should be deported back to Britain. The Irish newspaper Independent reported this on Tuesday. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had previously announced that Britain would not accept returns from Ireland until the EU in turn took back irregular migrants from the United Kingdom.

Court: Great Britain is not a safe third country
Irish Justice Minister McEntee has announced new laws that will allow the return of asylum seekers. In March, a court in Dublin ruled that Britain was no longer considered a safe third country and therefore people could not be deported there. The reason is the controversial plan by the conservative British government to deport asylum seekers who entered the country illegally to Rwanda, regardless of their origin.

McEntee pointed out that since Brexit there has been an agreement between Great Britain and Ireland on the readmission of migrants, which simply does not need to be used yet. Both countries form a common travel zone and there is also an open border on the island. This was intended to prevent new conflicts in the former civil war area of ​​Northern Ireland after Britain left the EU. Ireland is not part of the Schengen area.

The British want to deport 5,700 people to Rwanda
Britain plans to begin deportations to Rwanda in the coming weeks. The Times newspaper reported on Tuesday that 5,700 migrants had been identified, citing data from the Home Office in London. However, the whereabouts of more than 3,500 of these people are currently unknown to the authorities. Many of them are apparently already moving to Ireland.
