Failed asylum seekers travelling from Germany pose terror threat, claims Denmark
13 October
[TheLocal.dk] The Danish government announced on Thursday that it was extending controls at its border with Germany. In a letter to the EU, Copenhagen cited the security risk posed by people fleeing deportation orders south of the border.

“The large number of illegal migrants and rejected asylum seekers who are awaiting deportation in Germany are a real security threat,” the Danish government wrote in a letter to the EU justifying the decision to extend border controls.

There is “a risk that terror groups will take advantage of their precarious situation,” the letter stated.

More than 200 migrant children rescued in Med
13 October
[AlAhram] A migrant rescue ship in the Mediterranean carried hundreds of children and unaccompanied minors from over 15 countries to safety in Italy on Friday. The Aquarius, a boat operated by charity group SOS Mediterranee along with Doctors Without Borders (MSF), brought 606 people including 241 minors to Palermo after a series of rescues at sea on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nearly 180 of the youngsters were unaccompanied, the group said. Rescuers could be seen carrying the youngest charges off the ship, including toddlers in pyjamas and a week-old baby wrapped up tightly in a pink blanket. Among the women pulled to safety from unseaworthy dinghies, 11 were pregnant, two in their ninth month. Numerous migrants told aid workers they had been victims of sexual violence and torture in conflict-hit Libya, where they were held prisoner for months.

The migrants, who set sail from Libya for Italy, came from countries including Benin, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Syria, Somalia and Yemen.

Austria's leading election candidates target Muslims to score points
12 October
[DW] Austria's federal elections are in the homestretch. The topics of immigration, Islamization, refugees and border security are dominating the campaign like never before ‐ it has become a race between the right and the far-right. Those at the forefront of the testy battle over these topics are primarily the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), which is a member of the ruling government, and the opposition Freedom Party. The ÖVP's top candidate, Sebastian Kurz, says he wants to better protect the country's borders, fight political Islam and limit immigration. The FPÖ is calling for much the same but feels as if Kurz has stolen their talking points.

From the Daily Mail - European and migrant refugee crisis:
Help us... or our town will become the new Sangatte: Mayor fears his port town will turn into another refugee centre as dozens of men target trucks
14/10/17
It is a scene reminiscent of Calais before the notorious Jungle migrant camp was torn down. Dozens of young men (pictured) target lorries as they drive slowly towards the quiet ferry port of Ouistreham in Normandy. Without a policeman in sight, they break open the back doors and hide inside the trucks in the hope of reaching the UK. This daily – and potentially deadly – game of 'cat and mouse' prompted officials in the town to plead for help. eputy Mayor Luc Jammet warned that Ouistreham, which serves as a port for nearby Caen, was in danger of turning into 'the new Sangatte' – a reference to the centre near Calais that attracted thousands of migrants and became a haven for people smugglers before it was closed down in 2002. He said the town's infrastructure and small police force is not equipped to deal with a 'well-coordinated group of young men determined to get to Britain'. Put off by high security at Calais, young African and Asian men started arriving earlier this year and numbers have grown rapidly.
