As reported by Bloomberg, the European Parliament political group led by U.K. allies of British Prime Minister David Cameron plans to expel two German members after their national party supported keeping Mideast refugees out of Germany by shooting them if necessary.

The European Conservatives and Reformists faction gave Beatrix von Storch and Marcus Pretzell until the end of March to leave the ECR or face a motion of expulsion. Storch and Pretzell belong nationally to the Alternative for Germany party, whose co-leader, Frauke Petry, inJanuarysaid German border guards should use firearms against illegal migrants as a last resort.

The ECR, headed by U.K. Conservative Party member Syed Kamall, is weighing into German politics with its move against Storch and Pretzell. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is seeking to prevent losses for her Christian Democratic party and gains for the AfD in three German state elections on March 13. Polls show a surge in support for the AfD, which campaigns against immigration.
