A Berlin court ruled that Germany unlawfully deported three Somali asylum seekers at its Polish border, highlighting a conflict with Chancellor Merz's immigration policies. The court stated that Germany is required to process asylum claims under EU law, specifically the Dublin regulation. This ruling comes amid rising anti-immigration sentiments and pressure on the asylum system. Interior Minister Dobrindt defended the actions, asserting that current immigration pressures justify their practices. Opposition leaders criticized the government's approach, viewing this as a significant setback for Merz's policy agenda.
The court determined the expulsion was illegal under European Union rules, specifically the Dublin regulation, which requires Germany to assess asylum claims if it is the responsible state.
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt defended the deportations, stating that the asylum system was failing under pressure and emphasizing the government's commitment to its current practices.
