Eichwede: German Police Still Not Enforcing Unlawful Asylum Seeker Rejections
Refusal of Asylum Remains Unlawful Affirms Eichwede, Deputy SPD Faction Member - Enhancing EU's Diplomatic Ties with Central and Eastern European Nations: MEPs Petition EU Commission for Action
Assistant: Hey there! Let's talk about the latest on asylum seekers in Germany. Remember, Eichwede, the SPD Deputy Fraction Leader and former judge, has a few things to say about this.
Germany's police forces at the border are well-aware of the legal grey area surrounding asylum rejections, Eichwede explained. The Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, hasn't given an official directive to the federal police to enforce these rejections. Eichwede speculates that officers will keep avoiding this action as a consequence. She anticipates that nothing will change in this regard, or there will be some legal clashes if things do.
Dobrindt announced stricter border control measures on Wednesday, intending to decrease refugee influxes. This includes beefing up federal police at the border and even denying asylum seekers entry. However, exceptions will be made for vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women.

Interested in more details? Here's the scoop: The rejection of asylum seekers by the federal police in Germany is part of a more extensive effort to control borders more rigorously, which might involve national law for internal security and border protection. Yet, this approach could be legally tricky if it uses special EU clauses or national emergency declarations. Moreover, the implementation of these policies must adhere to both German national law and EU regulations on asylum and border control.
Further complicating matters, Dobrindt's instructions might be considered implicit in the wider government policies, but any legal fallout arises if these policies are deemed to go against national or EU law, particularly if asylum seekers are denied access to the asylum process without proper screening. Keep in mind that Eichwede's views on these policies should be analyzed within the broader political and legal context in Germany.
So, while asylum rejections align with the new government's desire for tougher border control, their legality remains uncertain due to compliance with relevant laws, potential legal challenges, and humanitarian concerns.
- Despite the stricter border control measures announced by Alexander Dobrindt, the Commission has not yet adopted a decision on the application of the directive regarding the rejection of asylum seekers by the federal police in Germany.
- Sonja Eichwede, SPD Deputy Fraction Leader and former judge, expresses concern that officers may continue to avoid enforcing asylum rejections due to the legal grey area surrounding them.*Politically, it's important to note that Eichwede's views on these policies should be analyzed within the broader context of German politics and policy-and-legislation.
- The implementation of these policies must adhere to both German national law and EU regulations on asylum and border control, making the legality of asylum rejections uncertain and potentially subject to legal challenges.
