The Danish government laid out a plan to start seizing asylum seekers’ jewelry and cash in order to pay for their resettlement last week, but police officers say they will refuse to enforce it.
The plan that is expected to be enforced starting in February is a countermeasure to cover the costs of resettling immigrants in Denmark and deter more refugees from coming to the country. Any item valued at 3,000 Danish kroner — about $440 — or more could be confiscated.
The liberal Left party minority government is backed by several other parties on the proposal, including the Conservatives and the anti-immigration Danish People’s Party (DPP), to gain enough support for the law to pass.
