Approximately 70 People Designated as Threats to National Security
The Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) has designated approximately 70 individuals as threats to national security over the past decade, primarily those convicted of terrorism or espionage. These individuals face a maximum 20-year entry ban and loss of nationality if they hold dual citizenship. However, experts and lawyers criticize the measure as counterproductive, noting that deportation is often impossible due to lack of cooperation from origin countries. Consequently, many remain illegally in the Netherlands without supervision, increasing security risks rather than mitigating them.
