German Cabinet Approves Stricter Asylum Measures

The German government is changing how it handles asylum seekers.

They want to make it easier to send people back to their home countries if those countries are considered 'safe.'

This means the government, not the upper house of parliament, will decide which countries are safe.

They also want to stop automatically giving people facing deportation a lawyer.

Some groups worry these changes will make it harder for people needing help to get it.

These new rules still need to be approved by another part of the government before they become law.
