The German Cabinet has approved measures to tighten asylum laws, aiming to make it easier to determine 'safe countries of origin' for faster deportations of rejected asylum-seekers. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt proposes that the government alone will decide these classifications, eliminating the need for approval from the Bundesrat. Additionally, the Cabinet has abolished automatic legal representation for those in pre-deportation custody, a rule established by the previous coalition. These reforms require the Bundestag's approval and signify a shift towards stricter immigration policies amidst potential legal challenges.
Dobrindt stated, "These are essential steps that are part of a whole raft of measures to bring about the asylum transformation," emphasizing the urgency and necessity of the reforms.
The Cabinet's decision aims to streamline the process of designating 'safe countries of origin' to facilitate quicker deportations of rejected asylum-seekers.
