The case of an eight-year-old girl who is being threatened with deportation has turned the spotlight on Denmark’s unyielding family reunification rules once again.
Despite letters of support from her teachers and school principal, and her parents’ urgent pleas, the Immigration Service has deemed the Bangladeshi girl Ripa incapable of integrating and ineligible for residency in Denmark.
Ripa’s is just the latest of approximately 800 cases of children who have been refused residency permits since 2005, according to public broadcaster DR.(source)
