Poland reinstates border controls with Germany and Lithuania to discourage asylum-seekers

POLAND, JUL 7 – Poland cited a surge in undocumented migrants and claims of German pushbacks, deploying 5,000 troops and conducting checks at 65 border points to enforce migration controls.

  • Poland temporarily reintroduced border controls with Germany and Lithuania at midnight Sunday, citing the need to control "illegal immigration".
  • Poland's Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said the decision was made to combat "illegal immigration" and insisted that Poles and other EU nationals would not face inconvenience.
  • Germany reintroduced temporary border checks with Poland in November 2023 and is now refusing entry to migrants heading to Germany to request asylum or obtain another type of status, according to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
