Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the extension of enforcement detention under the Foreign Nationals Act was proportionate given the length of detention and continued non-cooperation.
Decisione estratta
The extension was proportionate because the total detention remained within the statutory maximum, removal was still not excluded within an ascertainable period, and the applicant's persistent refusal to cooperate was decisive.
Motivazione estratta
The applicant had already been in custody for about 18 months, but the maximum under Art. 79 AuG remained 24 months. The authorities had repeatedly tried to effect removal; the obstacle lay mainly in the applicant's own conduct. Unlike a precedent invoked by him, he had no comparable family ties or other special vulnerability in Switzerland.
