Germany Tightens Border Controls in Immigration Clampdown
Germany will temporarily institute tighter controls at all of its land borders to reduce irregular migration and to improve security, Berlin said Monday.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced in a press conference on Monday that the new controls will be in place for six months, starting Sept. 16.
"We want to further reduce irregular migration," Faeser said. "To this end, we are now taking further steps that go beyond the comprehensive, ongoing measures."

Germany "leading" the charge to restrict free movement within the 🇪🇺 Schengen bloc. Van Der Leyen has allowed a number of countries to introduce restrictions but full checks by a powerhouse with NINE Schengen borders seems a stretch.
