Not to mention the Taliban militants (5) who were arrested when they got off the French evacuation plane in Paris. At least Biden and other governments have the sense to pass through checking stations in the Middle East to make sure they know what they are getting in terms of refugees.
I imagine it may be complicated. It would certainly depend on German law. Plus, if it was on a United States military base what are the implications of that. I know babies born to US military serving overseas and US citizens. I imagine the baby is a refugee with all that implies.
Right. In Germany, where the Afghan womanтАЩs baby was born, citizenship is not established through birth on German territory but by descent from a German legal mother and/or a German legal father. But since the baby was delivered in the cargo bay of a US aircraft, it is not clear which laws will apply in this particular case: German laws, US laws or if the baby will be considered a citizen of Afghanistan, the country to which her mother belongs.
It was great to hear about the 3 babies being born while being evacuated from Afghanistan -- one minutes after the plane arrived in Germany.

Yes, I loved that!
Curious, Cathy. Will those children be considered German citizens because of being born in the country?
