The Foreigners’ Office (OE) will reserve places in closed centers for drug traffickers arrested in the Peterbos district of Anderlecht and who are staying illegally, announced the Secretary of State for Asylum, Nicole de Moor. With this decision, it expands the “high trouble” project underway in the Brussels-Capital police zone and in Antwerp.
This neighborhood has been in the news once more for several days due to the insecurity created there by drug trafficking. Secretary of State CD&V wants to ensure that, if a person arrested in this context is undocumented, they can be expelled as a priority.
“As part of the ‘high trouble’ project, the police identify in advance the main perpetrators of nuisance in a neighborhood and not only at the time of action on the ground. The police have visibility of the situation in the neighborhood and know, thanks to their local knowledge, who makes the neighborhoods dangerous“, explained the Secretary of State. “The Immigration Office will place them in a closed center and will do everything possible to remove them“.
In the Brussels-Capital police zone, 67 people were thus able to be expelled.
Repatriation always depends on the collaboration of the country of origin. Ms de Moor once once more called for the organization of joint missions to the countries concerned in order to improve the situation.
