SPD faction deputy Eichwede considers deportations of asylum seekers as continuing to be unlawful - EU Officials Urge Commission to Enhance EU's Diplomatic ties with Central and Eastern European Nations

Sonja Eichwede, former judge turned SPD politician, says it's as clear as day that our border cops are well-versed in the legal tangles surrounding asylum rejections. ol' Dobrindt hasn't dropped a big ol' "order to the Federal Police" to do that, she points out. So, she reckons those border boys will keep on keeping off. She's expecting more of the same—legal proceedings if anything changes.

Now, Dobrindt's been yapping about tighter border controls to knock down the refugee flood. To achieve this, more Federal Police peeps will be stationed at the border and some asylum seekers will get the boot. Yep, pity about that, but there'll be exceptions: kiddos and expectant mamas won't face the chop.

The Lowdown:

The dirty lowdown is that this ongoing rejection of asylum seekers at the old border by the Federal Police fits snuggly with the latest German government strategy, pushed by the honorable Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and backed by his enthusiastic crew.

Ever since May 2025, the governor's ordered the border squad to drop most unauthorized migrants and asylum seekers at the border, part of a tighter migration and border control binge. This is a reaction to the high tide of irregular migration in the European Union and a jab at the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, aiming to clamp down on illegal immigration. The plan follows EU asylum law principles, expecting asylum seekers to submit their claims in the first European nation they bump into. They've labeled these moves "temporary" and "a must-do" to deal with EU's immigration chaos[1][2][3][5].

Now, about the lovely Ms. Eichwede, search results don't exactly scream her stance on this policy, but seeing as the SPD is part of the ruling coalition that's backing Merz's migration policy, it's a fair guess that Eichwede's line aligns with or keeps her trap shut about the current border action. This theory lines up with the overall rough deal refugee advocates say the SPD's giving to these asylum seekers, hinting Eichwede's on board with the restrictive border policy[2].

Long story short:

  • The Federal Police's rejection of asylum seekers at the border falls in line with the current German government policy and legal interpretation that follows EU asylum principles.
  • These policies have been in full swing since May 2025.
  • Eichwede hasn't publicly declared her stance, but her SPD's in the ruling coalition, which backs these border measures, so fingers crossed she's cool with it.

In summary: the border rejections are all above-board under German policy and legal guideliness, following their coalition and political positioning on asylum handling[1][2][3][5].

  1. The Commission has not yet adopted a decision on the application of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in the context of Germany's current border rejections and policy towards asylum seekers.
  2. Alexander Dobrindt, a prominent political figure, has announced tighter border controls as part of Germany's policy towards managing refugee influx, which includes the deployment of additional Federal Police officers at the border and the potential rejection of certain asylum seekers.
  3. Sonja Eichwede, a former judge and SPD politician, has not publicly declared her stance on these border rejections, but her party, the SPD, is part of the ruling coalition that supports the current migration policy, raising questions about her views on the matter.
  4. Recent general news and policy-and-legislation discussions reveal that Germany's border rejections of asylum seekers are in line with the EU asylum law principles, which expect asylum seekers to submit their claims in the first European country they encounter, and are part of a broader strategy to address the ongoing immigration chaos within the European Union.
