Faeser suggests imprisonment of certain asylum-seekers

The objective, as stated in the report, is to hinder unlawful entry and can be implemented due to potential escape risks. This objective can be met by establishing promptly accessible detention facilities close to borders and along migratory paths, the report suggests. The detention period is intended to last until the affected refugee is sent back to the EU nation they initially entered the EU, as per the so-called Dublin regulations.

To ascertain the responsible country, the Border Police should primarily utilize the Eurodac database, which stores refugees' fingerprints. The Border Police shares this data with the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf), which then initiates the Dublin process, the report goes on to say. All proposed measures adhere to EU law.

Delegates from the federal government, states, and the Union convened on Tuesday afternoon for the second session of their migration discussions. The Union had stipulated border rejections as a prerequisite for their participation. Faeser had ordered border checks at all German borders on Monday and announced increased rejections.

Other EU nations might need to cooperate effectively in implementing the Dublin regulations. The report suggests considering alternatives if the responsible country cannot be identified through the Eurodac database.
