STOCKHOLM (AP) – The Latest on the flow of migrants into Europe (all times local):
4:10 p.m.
A Hungarian official says that the government plans to hold migrants in border camps of shipping containers while their asylum requests are settled.
Janos Lazar, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff, also says that once the new rules are in place, any migrants detained without documents allowing them to be in Hungary will be returned across the border.
Presently, asylum-seekers whose claims are under appeal are placed mostly in open camps and some leave for Western Europe before their cases are decided. Migrants detained within eight kilometers (five miles) of the border are sent back across the fences Hungary has built on its southern borders with Serbia and Croatia.
