Stuttgart / Tübingen (dpa) - In the dispute over a list of suspicious asylum seekers, Tübingen's Lord Mayor Boris Palmer (Greens) receives support from Baden-Württemberg's Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU).
The "Südwest Presse" (Saturday) quoted Strobl's letter to Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU), in which the Southwest Minister showed his appreciation for Palmer's solution.
Strobl's ministry confirmed the existence of the paper.
Strobl wrote that the data exchange practiced by Palmer in Tübingen on crimes committed by asylum seekers between the police and the immigration and social authorities seems to be “basically a suitable approach to identify dangers for employees as well as for citizens at an early stage and to take the necessary measures to be able to meet ».
A “targeted and moderate exchange of data on crimes committed by asylum seekers” is certainly “in the interests of all of us”, as this could “serve both to avert danger and to integrate”.
Tübingen had made data on criminal offenses that flow from the police to the immigration authorities available to other city authorities and merged them.
The state data protection officer Stefan Brink had banned this practice and ordered the deletion of all recorded data.
The data were earmarked and should not just be used for something else.

Palmer believes the ban is wrong.
He is already calling on Seehofer himself to expand the data earmarking by ordinance or law so that security authorities, immigration authorities and social authorities can “work together sensibly”.
This serves both security and integration.
