United States · United States Congress · 20 November 2020
End Transfers of Detained Immigrants Act This bill imposes requirements related to individuals in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody during the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) public health emergency declared by the Department of Health and Human Services. ICE may not transfer an individual between ICE facilities until the COVID-19 transmission rate in the United States meets or drops below a certain threshold. In addition, ICE may not apprehend or transfer an individual between an ICE detention facility and a facility operated by an outside entity, such as a state or local prison, unless the individual is tested for COVID-19 and placed in quarantine (1) for 14 consecutive days, or (2) until the test comes back negative. These two requirements shall not prohibit the transfer of (1) an individual solely to process that individual's release from custody, or (2) a minor from ICE custody to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. If ICE cannot ensure compliance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for mitigating the spread of COVID-19 (including maintaining social distancing requirements at all times) in any ICE facility, ICE shall (1) immediately review the custody of all detained individuals in that facility, and (2) release individuals found eligible for release.
Germany · German Bundestag · 20 November 2020
Originaltext der Frage(n):<br /> <br /> Inwieweit wird die Bundesregierung vor dem Hintergrund erneuter aktueller Berichte über schwere Menschenrechtsverletzungen und illegale push backs an der kroatisch-bosnischen Grenze (www.nds-fluerat.org/47102/aktuelles/neue-recherchen-zur-gewalt-der-kroatischen-grenzpolizei/; vgl. z. B. auch: Süddeutsche Zeitung vom 27. Oktober 2020: "Grauenerregende Zeugenaussagen") im Rahmen ihrer EU-Ratspräsidentschaft solche schwerwiegenden Verstöße gegen Asyl- und Menschenrechte an den EU-Außengrenzen zum Thema machen (bitte ausführen), und inwieweit hält die Bundesregierung vor diesem Hintergrund den Vorschlag der EU-Kommission zu einem Überwachungsmechanismus an den EU-Außengrenzen (Artikel 7 der vorgeschlagenen Screening-Verordnung, KOM(2020)612), der in nationaler Zuständigkeit verbleiben und nicht durch unabhängige Instanzen erfolgen soll, für ausreichend, da die maßgeblich verantwortlichen Mitgliedstaaten wie Kroatien, Griechenland, Ungarn usw. bis heute, trotz einer Vielzahl gut belegter Berichte, jegliche Rechtsverletzung an den EU-Außengrenzen offiziell geleugnet haben (z. B. DER SPIEGEL vom 19. November 2020: "Europarat kritisiert Griechenlands Umgang mit Flüchtlingen scharf"; Neue Zürcher Zeitung vom 14. November 2020: "Die europäische Grenzschutzagentur gerät wegen Rückweisungen an der griechisch-türkischen Grenze in die Kritik"), sodass nach meiner Einschätzung nicht damit zu rechnen ist, dass ein Überwachungsmechanismus in Zuständigkeit der Mitgliedstaaten effektiv und wirksam sein wird in Bezug auf die künftige Verhinderung von Menschenrechtsverletzungen und illegalen push backs an den EU-Außengrenzen (bitte begründen)?
