Bundestag in dispute: Asylum rejections according to the court ruling questionable!

Berlin, Deutschland - The debate about the migration policy orientation of Germany gained explosive on June 5, 2025. On the occasion of a judgment by the Berlin Administrative Court, which declared the rejection of three Somali asylum seekers on the German border, the Bundestag discusses the current border controls. This judgment raises fundamental questions about compliance with the Dublin system, which serves to regulate responsibility for asylum applications within the EU. The decision of the judges refers to an incident of May 9, 2025, when the Somali asylum seekers had entered Germany from Poland and were rejected at the border.

The court found that the rejection violated the applicable EU law, since asylum applications at the border may not be rejected without carrying out the Dublin procedure. The legal scientist Volker Boehme-Neßler described the judgment as temporarily, which shaped the political discourse in the Bundestag during the current session. The Green Group criticized the migration-political line of the new federal government as unclear and legally unsafe. Britta Haßelmann from the Greens reminded of the five-point plan of CDU boss Friedrich Merz and practiced sharp criticism of the SPD.

political reactions and demands

The discussion in the Bundestag was heated and reflects the divergent views of the parties. Alexander Throm from the CDU called for the termination of illegal migration through border controls and rejections, while Christian Wirth from the AfD described migration policy as "colonialism of the 21st century" and called for changes in the law. Angelika Glöckner from the SPD, on the other hand, emphasized that the majority of the population did not reject migration, but would like a functioning integration.

Overall, the political landscape is characterized by demands for more border controls, with Thomas Silberhorn from the CSU warning of immigration about Russia and Belarus as a potential threat to internal security. On the other hand, the Greens called for an immediate withdrawal of the rejection by Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU), which strengthens the police union (GdP) in their skepticism.

legal situation and challenges in the Dublin system

The current events are not to be considered isolated, but are in the context of the overarching EU asylum policy. As early as the 1990s, the EU member states began to develop a common escape and asylum policy in order to harmonize the differences between the national asylum systems. The Dublin system, which regulates which Member State is responsible for processing asylum applications, has meanwhile proven to be dysfunctional.

The attempts at reform of the common European asylum system (GEAS) have been hindered again and again since 2015 by political disagreements and the increasing challenges of migration. Due to serious differences in the implementation of the Dublin Ordinance, asylum seekers in some EU countries hardly get any protection, while in other countries such as Spain or Portugal almost every asylum application is given positively.

The recent events and discussions have again emphasized the weaknesses of the Dublin system and illustrate that coordination of migration policy within the EU is urgently necessary. The reform process, which has stalled since the years of crises in refugee policy, now required attention again to achieve a fairer distribution of responsibility among the Member States.

With the debate about the rejections and the implementation of the Dublin system, the course for future migration policy in Germany and the EU is set. The political actors must now take a stand and specify clear directions in order to be able to cope with the challenges associated with migration and asylum.

Welt based on § 18 asylum law, did not withstand the legal requirements. The judgment is a warning to the government to take the legal situation in asylum law seriously and to respect the EU requirements.

For future political decisions, it will be crucial to protect the balance between national interests and the requirements of EU law. LTO that the Federal Government should consider the results of the administrative court in order to be unnecessary legal conflicts and a possible isolation at European level Avoid.

The challenges of the European external borders require a multi -dimensional approach that includes both legal and humanitarian aspects. The BPB emphasizes that reforms occur more fairly and to distribute the responsibility for asylum procedures and humanitarian solutions find.
