In a landmark move, Berlin's Administrative Court ruled on Monday that the new German government policy of turning away asylum seekers at border checks is illegal.
The court's statement was clear: "Persons who express the wish to seek asylum while at a border check on German territory may not be sent back" until it has been determined which state is responsible for processing the claim under the EU's "Dublin" system.
This decision reinforces legal protections for individuals seeking international protection, ensuring that asylum applications are properly registered and evaluated rather than rejected at the frontier.
