Two Polish citizens were detained by German police at the Lubieszyn border crossing after participating in a volunteer patrol aiming to block illegal migrants from entering Poland.
The arrests have sparked outrage among Polish conservatives, who accuse German authorities of deliberately undermining local efforts to secure the border.
The incident was first reported by journalist Tomasz Duklanowski, who shared footage and photos showing around 30 men stationed near the Lubieszyn crossing. “This is the beginning, we will be here every day, and there will be hundreds of us!” he quoted the group as saying.
The self-organized border patrol, which they called the start of regular citizen-led operations, was interrupted by German police. According to Duklanowski, two members of the patrol were detained and held for over half an hour.

Conservative Law and Justice (PiS) politician Dariusz Matecki confirmed the detention and condemned the German response. “It is clear that the issue of defending the border by Polish citizens alone arouses great anger of the German services,” he said. “Poles can thwart their plans!”

Widać, że sprawa obrony granicy przez samym polskich obywateli budzi wielką złość niemieckich służb. Polacy mogą pokrzyżować im plany! Ruszamy patrolować granice!… pic.twitter.com/bFmOW6wL2O

A day prior, Matecki released disturbing claims about coordinated migrant handovers between Germany and Poland. Referring to a video from June 24, he alleged that German vehicles dropped off African migrants at the Lubieszyn-Linken border crossing, where Polish Border Guard officers then loaded them into a bus and drove away.
“In the shadows, there is a mass smuggling of migrants from Germany to Poland,” Matecki said. He claimed his sources within the Border Guard report 50 to 60 individuals being brought across daily in the Szczecin district alone.
The nationalist Confederation party echoed these concerns, accusing Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government of pretending to control the western border while quietly enabling migration. Confederation MP Krzysztof Bosak pointed out that under current asylum law, applications are only suspended for those stopped at the state border. Once someone crosses, even illegally, they can immediately request asylum — effectively circumventing any ban.
Videos circulating on social media appear to show increasing numbers of asylum seekers in Polish towns. In Zielona Góra, footage shows groups of African men loitering outside a school, with residents and parents expressing growing unease. Similar scenes were recorded in Szczecin, where Matecki confronted several undocumented migrants who identified themselves as Somali. Under current EU regulations, such individuals cannot be deported due to conditions in their home country.
“We have groups of asylum seekers, just hanging out by the school.”

Matecki also claimed that these individuals had been given documents by German border guards before being sent across into Poland.

This growing pattern is not limited to the Polish border. A recent video from the Dutch city of Venlo, just four miles from Germany, shows German police at 4 a.m. dropping off a man with a brown envelope and suitcase, without informing local authorities. The footage, captured by a florist’s security camera, has sparked questions in the Netherlands.

The Dutch Ministry of Asylum acknowledged that such transfers do occur, calling them “routine” as long as they follow EU rules. However, the local mayor, Antoin Scholten, stated he was unaware of the event and admitted the municipality had no role or authority in such matters.
