On 12 June 2026, the EU Asylum System (GEAS) came into force, harmonising the rules governing asylum procedures and protection standards across all Member States, whilst at the same time severely restricting the right to protection. Among other things, this means that refugees may be deported to the country of first entry without a prior asylum procedure. The Ministry of the Interior, led by Alexander Dobrindt (CSU), wanted to put a young Somali woman on a deportation flight because her first country of entry within the EU was Italy. read more

When a refugee applies for asylum in Germany, they receive assistance from the authorities. For example, they receive money for food. For a long time, the authorities gave refugees cash. In many cities, however, refugees are now given a payment card. Social welfare organisations criticise this, saying that the payment card makes everyday life more difficult for many asylum seekers. read more

The new Entry/Exit System (EES), together with the European Travel Authorisation System (ETIAS), is part of a broader push to technically integrate databases across migration and public security. Europe is quietly building the most extensive digital border surveillance infrastructure in its history – one that people can neither see nor challenge. Whereas the idea behind EES is to automate entry and exit records through biometric data collection, ETIAS aims to pre-screen who is or is not fit to enter the European Union based on criteria assessed by a score: risk to public health, risk to security, and risk of illegal immigration. read more

Five years after the Islamist Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, the German government is their closest partner for co-operation in the EU. Germany’s main goal: increasing deportations regardless of human rights risks. More than 200 Afghan men have been returned to Kabul from Germany in the last twelve months. While the deportations were initially limited to criminals, this criterion has been lifted. read more

Germany is seeking to resume transfers of people on the move to Italy and Greece. As part of the launch of the EU's Pact on Migration and Asylum earlier this summer, the enforcement of so-called Dublin returns is likely to be pursued more decisively by some EU members like Germany, reports indicate. read more

The case of a Somali woman, whose Dublin transfer to Italy is now the subject of a dispute, highlights a fundamental problem: Germany wants to send people back to Italy, but Italy has largely blocked their return since 2022, and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is now even demanding ‘compensation’ for refugees rescued in the Mediterranean by NGOs, including some German organisations. read more

Two months after the GEAS reform came into force, Lower Saxony has still not implemented key improvements for refugee children and particularly vulnerable asylum-seekers. The fact that the state government has still not implemented the few improvements intended for children and particularly vulnerable asylum-seekers, of all things, is evidence of misplaced priorities. read more

The dispute between Italy and Spain has escalated following the Ceuta crisis: Italian PM Meloni was the only EU head of government to suspend Schengen rules toward Spain, prompting Spain to introduce its own border checks on travellers arriving from Italy starting Saturday.
