Scoop: Dobrindt to Boost Border Patrol Forces by 3K Cops
Dobrindt proposes deploying an extra 3,000 federal law enforcement personnel to the borderline. - Expanded federal police force Pushed by Dobrindt; 3,000 additional officers to patrol the border.
Hey there! Buckle up, we've got some juicy news for you.
Alexander Dobrindt, the new Interior Minister of Germany, is planning a massive expansion of the Federal Rapid Deployment Police at the borders. Rumor has it they'll be nearly doubled—from 1,100 to an impressive 15,000, with an additional 2,000 to 3,000 officers!
To throw a spanner in the works, Dobrindt's also revoking a 2015 order issued by the previous Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière (CDU) that allowed third-country nationals without valid residence documents or asylum applications to enter the country. Sounds like Dobrindt's not messing around!
The increase in control points is also on the cards, with the number of checkpoints growing to accommodate the larger force. Expect those hanging about the borders to bottleneck faster than a messy highway intersection on a Wednesday evening.
But don't worry, Dobrindt's mouthpiece at the Interior Ministry isn't chatting just yet. They're keeping a tight lid on things ahead of Dobrindt's presser in the afternoon. We'll bring you all the hook-ups as soon as they roll out the red carpet!
As for the SPD, well, they're all for this new tough-love approach, but on a condition: all this must go down in coordination with our European neighbors. This way, everyone's got a piece of the action—or so it seems.
Oh, and there's been quite a bit of action at the borders recently. Since October 2023, over 53,000 people have been sent back, according to Dobrindt's predecessor, Nancy Faeser.
So, buckle up—it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
