Deutschland kündigt Ausweitung der Kontrollen an allen Landgrenzen an

**Submission Statement:**

The article from Deutsche Welle highlights the German government’s decision to extend temporary border controls across all land borders in response to growing concerns over irregular migration and internal security threats. The German Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, emphasized the need to limit irregular migration and address potential threats from extremist groups and organized crime. This policy shift comes amid political pressure as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) gains traction in recent regional elections, raising concerns about immigration and national security. The border checks, which will be in place for six months, also reflect a broader European debate on immigration and asylum policies, particularly after a tragic incident involving an escaped deportee.
