ISTANBUL (AP) – The Latest on the influx of migrants into Europe (all times local):

6:05 p.m.

Denmark’s justice minister says members of a volunteer military unit will replace most police at its border with Germany to ease the officers’ burden in coping with an influx of migrants.

Soeren Pind says 165 officers will be sent “back to their districts” and be replaced by 140 members of the Home Guard in June. They will be under police command at the border.

Pind spoke Tuesday after a parliamentary majority backed his plan.
