What are the immediate consequences of Dutch municipalities' objections to Minister Faber's asylum seeker distribution plan?

Dozens of Dutch municipalities are contesting Minister Faber's asylum seeker distribution plan, citing broken agreements and imposed quotas exceeding initial plans. The objections stem from the Distribution Act and Faber's subsequent decree, mandating the distribution of 96,000 asylum spots by June 30th, 2024. This decree overrides prior local agreements, forcing some municipalities to accommodate more asylum seekers than anticipated.
