Germany Announces Plan for Special Centers to Fast-Track Deportations 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced a new plan for
people seeking asylum. It involves creating special centers that will
fast-track deportation proceedings for people who do not qualify for
refugee status. Approximately 800,000 people have arrived in Germany
this year, most fleeing violence in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia,
Eritrea and other countries.
