For rejected asylum seekers: Frederiksen: Return centers are moving closer

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reports progress in negotiations on EU plans for return centers for rejected asylum seekers in third countries. The centers, also called "Return Hubs", would hold people who cannot be returned to their home countries because they refuse to take them back. Frederiksen said details would be announced next week, after Dutch media reported an official announcement may come at a migration conference in Vienna on Monday.

Possible locations include Ruanda, though this has not been officially confirmed. Germany, Austria, Denmark, Greece and the Netherlands are driving the project, which gained final EU legal approval last month.
