The Berlin Administrative Court ruled that the rejection of asylum seekers at German borders is unlawful, challenging Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt's migration policy. The court's decision, based on the case of three Somali nationals, emphasizes that asylum applications must be examined before any rejection. The ruling contradicts the government's hardline approach to immigration, which aimed to halt asylum processes and turn away migrants at the borders, and highlights the need for compliance with EU immigration policy.
