Migrant crisis

I wasn't sure how the migrant crisis that Europe is facing would manifest itself on the trip, but it was quite evident on the train when we crossed from Germany to Denmark on the ferry.  After  the train pulled off the ferry, a troop of border patrol agents came through the train asking for passports.  This was done between London and Paris because the UK is not part of the Schengen common border zone like most of the rest of the EU, but did not happen between Paris and Amsterdam.

I pulled out my passport  and managed to open it when he waved at me that I didn't need to show Delaney's.  She was clearly with me and legit.  He passed through our group quickly, but at the end of the train several more agents joined him and they had an extended conversation with a group of young men seated there.  In the end, four of them were escorted off the train.  Several members of our group were close to the conversation and said all the parties were speaking in English and the men did not have identity papers.  They said they were not staying in Denmark, but continuing through to Sweden.  The agents said that the Swedish border also required papers and they would need to get off the train.  One of them requested a lawyer and was told again that in order to speak with a lawyer he would need to get off the train.  The lady sitting next to us was from Sweden and confirmed that Sweden had recently closed its border.  This conversation was all done quietly and they all got off the train together.  The men were well dressed and clean and had several bags with them, so they did not look deseparate, but they had clearly reached the end of their journey.  I was curious how they had managed to get so far north without getting stopped sooner.

Other than the 'info booth' on Dam Square in Amsterdam with Syrian flags flying, and a few homeless people on the street in Paris who might have been immigrants, our group has not come across any other obvious signs of this crisis (although I was worried that our delayed train from London to Paris might be llinked to protests at the chunnel in Callais).  

There was a display at the Copenhagen national musuem:
