Men dressed in reflective vests controlled vehicles entering the Netherlands across the border with Germany. In their cars, they searched for migrants who wanted to enter their country. This was the initiative of a group of Dutch who argue the massive influx of illegal immigrants. Local police found their actions illegal. In contrast, the Dutch Geert Wilders, calling citizens' controls a ‘fantastic initiative’, expressed their support for spontaneous revelry.
The Dutch group organized on the border with Germany citizen patrols that began controlling cars entering the Netherlands from the West Germany. According to “Die Welt”, 12 men in retro-reflective vests were set up on the road connecting Haren in Lower Saxony in the west of Germany with the Dutch border Ter Appeal.
Dutch police found the initiative illegal, but any politicians – including migration minister David van Weel – stated that "citizens' frustration is understandable". He advocated more detailed border controls with Germany, stressing that border guards' tasks and enforcement should not be "taken into their own hands".
The creation of a civilian border patrol praised the right-wing politician of the Dutch Freedom organization (PVV) Geert Wilders. He called it a "fantastic initiative" and stated that this should be the case across the border.
Citizen border patrols besides in Poland. The Border Defence Movement reports that German police dropped migrants to Poland
It is possible that the Dutch who organized the patrols followed initiatives from Poland. fewer people know that there is something akin in our country – the Border Defence Movement. ROG members focus on observing the Polish-German border on Oder, monitoring the ft traffic from Germany and the activity of German police, whose “events” have shifted illegal immigrants to the Polish side.
The last specified case was to take place last Saturday. 1 of the ROG patrol members reported that six Somalis had been dumped in the Polish Gubin by the German police. “We are on a footbridge in Gubin. Just now, the German police dropped off six Somalis, sitting on a bench. Young boys, broken, without a hotel, took their phones, food," the activist said.
The Germans just dropped off six Somalis in Gable! They took their phones and supplies before! We are waiting for the Polish police.#Move defence Borders#Safe Poland#Gubinpic.twitter.com/Lkq5sIsp0p
