Germany Ends Open-Border Asylum Policy, Orders Pushbacks of All Illegal Migrants, 3000 added to police borders

In a historic policy shift, Germany’s new Merz-led government has effectively abolished open-border asylum entry by ordering immediate pushbacks of all illegal migrants at its national borders, ending nearly a decade of de facto mass migration policies that critics say have destabilized Europe.

The Minister of the Interior ordered the border police to return undocumented asylum seekers unless they belong to "vulnerable groups, such as children and pregnant women".

It is day one after the formation of the government and Dobrindt announces first major changes. Refugees are to be rejected faster. Not every neighbour of Germany likes that.
