The draft law known as the Zustrombegrenzungsgesetz aims to limit the influx of migrants into Germany. This politically charged legislation proposes significant changes, including the cessation of family reunification for those under subsidiary protection. It also empowers federal police to detain individuals slated for deportation and to enact custody measures. The Social Democrats (SPD), led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, oppose this draft law, suggesting they may present it to the Federal Constitutional Court for review, questioning its compatibility with the principles established in the German Basic Law.
