German media have reported that the country’s Interior Minister has emphasized the continuation of strict immigration policies and the deportation of asylum seekers who are classified as “criminals” by the German government.
German media reported on Tuesday, May 5, that Alexander Dobrindt, Germany’s Interior Minister, supports the implementation of strict immigration policies at the European Union’s borders.
According to the report, the monthly number of rejected asylum applications in Germany fluctuates between two and three thousand cases.
According to reports, there has been a significant decline in asylum applications, from 350,000 cases in 2023 to 170,000 cases in 2025.
On the other hand, Germany’s policies regarding the deportation of Afghan asylum seekers have been criticized and described as controversial.
It has been reported that Germany’s Interior Ministry has relied on direct contacts with the Taliban for the deportation of Afghan asylum seekers.
This comes after the Austrian newspaper “Die Presse” reported on April 30 that Austria had decided to reach an agreement with Uzbekistan to create a new route for the deportation of Afghan asylum seekers.
