German opposition calls for expansion of deportations to Afghanistan
Alexander Dobrindt of the CSU is advocating for the deportation of all individuals under obligation to leave Germany to Afghanistan, extending the policy beyond the current focus on criminals and security threats. The proposal signals a hardening of the domestic political stance on migration, though the feasibility of large-scale returns remains constrained by the lack of formal diplomatic relations with the Taliban government.

German Constitutional Court Challenges Afghan Visa Policy, Government Mandates Individual Screening
The German Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) has repeatedly ruled against the government's blanket visa denials and admission freezes for Afghan nationals, mandating individual case reviews and improved legal justifications. Concurrently, the German government has implemented a policy of individual security vetting for all Afghan visa applicants, citing heightened domestic security concerns. This creates a tension between judicial oversight requiring individual assessment and executive policy emphasizing security-driven individual screening.
