Unexpected Arrival of Previously Rejected Asylum Seekers in Berlin
Rejected Migrants Now Reside in Berlin - Initially denied asylum seekers now residing in Berlin
Here's the lowdown:
The cat's out of the bag—three individuals, initially denied asylum at the German-Polish border, are now making their presence known in the vibrant heart of Berlin. According to a spokesperson for the Senate Administration for Integration, their asylum applications in the city are currently under scrutiny, conducted in adherence to the rule of law. Alas, due to data protection and individual privacy concerns, no further information will be disseminated [1][4].
In a landmark decision made by the Berlin Administrative Court on Monday, the rejection of these three Somali nationals at a border control in Frankfurt (Oder) was deemed unjust [3][4]. You see, the court found that there was no clear indication of which EU country should process their asylum applications, a violation of the law and the EU's Dublin Regulation [3][4]. As a result, the trio was shipped back to Poland.
Welcome to Berlin, where new arrivals are usually processed at a reception center [1][4]. Here, they'll receive accommodation, food, registration, and undergo a plethora of checks—ranging from personal details to health assessments, security screenings, and asylum application histories [1][4]. It's also determined whether another European country might be responsible for processing their asylum application.
Border control measures have been ramped up since late May, following orders from Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) [1][4]. His directive allows for asylum seekers to be turned away at the border, based on Section 18, Paragraph 2 of the Asylum Act [1][4]. This stipulates that entry can be refused when there are indications that another state should handle the asylum procedure.
Despite the recent court ruling, Dobrindt insists on sticking to existing border practices, while simultaneously complying with the Berlin judges' decision on the individual cases at hand [1][4].
