Exclusive Report: Dobrindt's Plan to Bolster Border Control with Reinforced Federal Police
Plans Unveiled: Increased Deployment of 3000 Federal Police Officers to the Border - Dobrindt advocates for deployment of additional 3,000 federal officers at border
Wanna know the juicy deets? Things are heating up at Germany's borders as the new Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, is looking to beef up security with a fresh wave of Federal Police. In the wake of rising concerns about illegal immigration, the CSU leader plans a significant reinforcement of the border force.
Here's the lowdown:
Tougher Border Controls
- Packing on More Cops: Get ready for a surge of law enforcement at our borders! Dobrindt aims to pile on the pressure with more Federal Police patrols, aiming to reduce the flow of unauthorized migrants.
- Twelve-Hour Shifts: In a bid to ratchet up the controls, border agents are expected to work longer shifts, beefing up the overall workforce.
The Reality Check
- No Confirmation Yet: The Interior Ministry hasn't offered an official thumbs-up or thumbs-down on these changes. Dobrindt, who took the reigns from Nancy Faeser last Wednesday and is giving a press conference at 16:45, is keeping the details under wraps for now.
Looking Back at Faeser's Legacy
- Exit Strategies:Since October 2023, Dobrindt's predecessor Nancy Faeser sent over 53,000 asylum-seekers packing. However, under Faeser, Germany cooperated with European neighbors to turn back these migrants.
Rolling Back Previous Orders
- Revoking Old Orders: Dobrindt has annulled a 2015 ministerial order by Thomas de Maizière. This order reportedly allowed third-country nationals without valid residence documents or asylum claims to enter the country.
Politics and Policy
- The New Coalition: The Union and SPD have committed to share the pain of returning asylum-seekers, but they insist on doing so in collaboration with European neighbors.

Alexander Dobrindt, the new Interior Minister, has proposed a plan to bolster border control with reinforced Federal Police officers, aiming to reduce the flow of unauthorized migrants. In a bid to ratchet up the controls, border agents are expected to work longer shifts. However, Dobrindt's plans have not been officially confirmed by the Ministry of the Interior yet. Images of the general news and politics sections of the Bild-Zeitung may offer reports about the policy-and-legislation changes that Dobrindt's plan entails, as his predecessor, Nancy Faeser, previously sent over 53,000 asylum-seekers back and revoked a 2015 order. The new coalition, composed of the Union and the SPD, have committed to share the pain of returning asylum-seekers, but they insist on doing so in collaboration with European neighbors.
