Removal of individuals to Syria and Afghanistan in particular cases

Moving to a new location - Removal of individuals to Syria and Afghanistan in particular cases

After the deadly stabbing attack on a police officer in Mannheim, Berlin's Interior Minister Iris Spranger (SPD) backs the idea from Hamburg to expel highly criminal foreigners to Syria and Afghanistan. While Germany naturally provides humanitarian protection, "anyone who poses a threat to public safety has forfeited their right to stay and should expect consequences such as sanctions and even deportations," Spranger told the German Press Agency on Tuesday. "Those who oppose our democratic values should be prepared for the consequences." This would apply, Spranger said, even if the country in question is not a safe place for the individual but the threat to security in Germany is greater. "We can't ignore the challenges facing our country's safety now."

Hamburg plans to push for the deportation of some Syrians and Afghans under certain circumstances at the upcoming Interior Ministers' Conference (IMK) in Brandenburg on June 19th. The Interior Ministers will then ask the Federal Interior Ministry to re-evaluate the security situation in Afghanistan and the area surrounding the Syrian capital, Damascus. "Anyone who commits serious crimes here must leave the country, even if they're from Afghanistan," said Hamburg's Interior Minister Andy Grote (SPD). According to "Bild" newspaper, Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD), along with the SPD parliamentary group, supports the Hamburg initiative.
