According to Interior Minister Mari Rantanen (ps), the situation on the eastern border requires coordination centers for security reasons.
Ministry of the Interior is preparing a regulation on organizing centers, says the Minister of the Interior Mari Rantanen (ps) messaging service in X.
Rantanen writes that the persons are kept in the authority’s possession until they have been registered, i.e. personal information, fingerprints, a photograph have been obtained from them and registry checks have been carried out.
“This is done for security reasons, because we don’t know who will cross the border,” Rantanen writes.
Organization center is a first-stage reception unit to which immigrants whose identity or entry requirements are unclear are referred.
According to the Aliens Act, the government can decide on an organization center if the number of immigrants is exceptionally large, so that it is not possible to find out the conditions for entry and register the immigrants in the usual procedure.
According to the law, the immigrant must stay at the center for the duration of the registration, unless his health or another important personal reason requires otherwise.
For example, in 2015, an organization center was established in Tornio, when the number of asylum seekers grew rapidly.
