Nancy Faeser unveils urgent legislation to broaden reasons for deportation.
The Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, plans to swiftly present a bill that broadens the deportation criteria. Following Chancellor Scholz's statement yesterday, Faeser shared her intentions with the Funke media group's publications. Faeser stated, "From now on, there must be a genuine deportation interest for justifying terrorist acts." She mentioned that she would soon share a draft law on this subject. Additionally, Faeser plans to delve deeper into speeding up the deportation of severe criminals and Islamic extremists back to Afghanistan and Syria.
Scholz had stated that the rule of law would defend itself against radical Islamists by all means possible. "These criminals must be deported, even if they come from Syria or Afghanistan," he asserted. Last week, in an apparent Islamic extremist-motivated knife attack in Mannheim, a police officer was critically injured and later succumbed to his injuries.
SPD and FDP are advocating for deportations even to Afghanistan, whereas the Greens have expressed their skepticism, given the rule of the radically Islamic Taliban militia in the country. Green party co-leader Omid Nouripour held Faeser accountable for creating a plan that upholds the standards of the rule of law, security, and practicality. Nouripour clarified, "This also encompasses the question of how we can prevent funding the Stone Age Islamists of the Taliban or releasing criminals back into society and subsequently back to Germany." "The Interior Ministry must provide answers to this," she concluded.
