Brandenburg's Interior Minister Faces Criticism Over Migration and Policing Policies
Katrin Lange's push for stricter deportation measures, expanded police powers, and refusal to back an AfD ban draws mixed reactions from political and social groups.
- Interior Minister Katrin Lange advocates for increased deportations of individuals without legal residency, emphasizing both voluntary departures and enforced removals.
- Lange supports the introduction of police body cameras in private residences, citing potential changes to Brandenburg's policing laws under review.
- Her stance against banning the AfD, citing a likely failure of such efforts, has drawn praise from the far-right party and criticism from others.
- Social organizations, including the Diakonie, have condemned Lange's policies, arguing they stigmatize migrants and fail to address integration challenges effectively.
- Lange has also rejected the establishment of a state-level border police in Brandenburg, countering calls from CDU politicians for stricter regional border controls.
