Strobl mentioned, "Deportations to Syria and Afghanistan could also happen." He spoke in response to the announcements made by Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) regarding the current security situation.

Additionally, Strobl supported the idea of deporting individuals who have been convicted of serious and extremely serious crimes, as well as those who have committed offenses against sexual autonomy and against law enforcement officers.

Since the Taliban took control of Kabul in August 2021, Germany has ceased deporting any individuals to Afghanistan.
