Migrant Rejection Policy Under Scrutiny: Greens Call Out Dobrindt Over Unlawful Orders
Dobrindt should rescind instructions for expulsions - Commission tasked to propose legislation safeguarding workers from harmful ionizing radiation exposure risks.
Hey! Here's the scoop on the latest political drama unfolding in Germany. The Greens are demanding Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt (CSU), to axe his controversial directive concerning asylum seekers. This follows a court ruling against the rejection of asylum seekers within German territory.
Irene Mihalic, parliamentary business manager of the Bundestag faction, criticized the decision, stating, "This is a resounding defeat for the federal government, serving as a strong warning to preserve the rule of law and justice in future, rather than exploiting one's role for populist purposes."
The police union (GdP) welcomes this development, as they've long expressed doubts about the legality of the procedure introduced to reject asylum and protection seekers.
A recent interim decision by the Administrative Court of Berlin stated that asylum seekers cannot be rejected without the so-called Dublin procedure being carried out first. This ruling was passed in a case involving three Somalis, who entered Germany following stricter border controls on May 9. These controls, spearheaded by Dobrindt, aimed to turn away more migrants at the border, but fortunately, exemptions apply to vulnerable individuals, such as children and pregnant women.

As a friendly reminder, the details on specific court decisions regarding Dobrindt's directive are scarce. That being said, Dobrindt's efforts to strengthen border controls and limit irregular immigration have been controversial, both legally and politically. Future updates regarding legal challenges or court findings can be found in recent judicial or governmental announcements.
Until then, here's a quick recap of the status quo:
- Border Controls: Stricter border controls have been enforced to minimize unauthorized immigration, with exceptions for the most vulnerable individuals[3].
- Legal and Political Controversy: The policies remain contentious and are faced with legal challenges, but for a detailed understanding of the legal landscape, one must stay updated on recent judicial or governmental communications[1][2].
- Immigration Regulations: Germany has approved bills to increase immigration restrictions, reflecting a shift in policy under the new administration[4].
- The Greens have called out Alexander Dobrindt, the Interior Minister of CSU, for his controversial migrant rejection policy, following a court ruling in Berlin that asylum seekers cannot be rejected without the Dublin procedure being carried out first.
- In the context of politics and policy-and-legislation, the interim decision by the Administrative Court of Berlin serves as a strong warning to both the federal government and Alexander Dobrindt, emphasizing the importance of preserving the rule of law and justice in future, rather than exploiting one's role for populist purposes.
