The German government, led by Friedrich Merz, will continue strict border measures, including turning back undocumented migrants, despite a court ruling to the contrary.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has announced that Germany will maintain border controls and the rejection of undocumented asylum seekers, despite a court ruling that the policy is illegal. The move is a reaction to political pressure from the far-right, which has gained popularity. Dobrindt emphasized that migration policy has changed as Germany seeks to curb illegal migration, and announced new deportations for criminals from Syria and Afghanistan.
