Inger Stoejberg is being tried for an order to separate asylum-seeking couples when one of the pair was a minor.
Denmark’s rarely used Court of Impeachment has gathered to try a former immigration minister for a 2016 order to separate asylum-seeking couples when one of the pair was a minor. Inger Stoejberg, who served as integration minister from 2015 to 2019, appeared before the court on Thursday, which was convening for the first time in 26 years. Earlier this year, Denmark’s parliament voted to try Stoejberg after a parliament-appointed commission said that separating couples in asylum centres was “clearly illegal” and that she had received warnings from her department that the practice was unlawful.
