Germany's new government has ordered border police to reject undocumented migrants including asylum seekers, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said Wednesday.

Dobrindt told reporters he was issuing an order "to ensure that the police can make such pushbacks", adding that exceptions would be made for "vulnerable groups" including pregnant women and children.
