German AfD party faces internal disputes and proposes new deportation police

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is proposing to create a new police unit specifically for deportations, modeled on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The proposal comes from the party's branch in Bavaria.

At the same time, the party is dealing with internal disagreements. Some AfD members, including politician Maximilian Krah, have distanced themselves from the term 'remigration'. The party also blocked an event in Brandenburg that was to feature Martin Sellner, a right-wing activist. In regional politics, the AfD is performing strongly in Saxony-Anhalt, where it has published a government program, while other parties like the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) have ruled out cooperating with it.
