34 deportations in the first half of 2025: intensive devices threaten departure!

Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, Deutschland - The focus is currently on deportations in Germany. The security authorities in the Mecklenburg Lake District district attributed a total of 32 rejected asylum seekers in the first half of 2025. This reports SVZ . In the past two years, the number of returns with 59 (2024) and 58 (2023) has been relatively constant. The debate about the deportations is also fueled by individual cases, such as a 21-year-old Egyptian who has been convicted and has already been deported for serious arson.

The case of the Tunisian is particularly explosive, who was headlined as a "grandma robber" after stabulating 18 older women. Despite his conviction for three years in prison, he would like to appeal the judgment, which makes his deportation difficult. A 19-year-old Sierra-Leoner who also sits in the youth criminal offense because of a series of crimes has no papers-this harbors additional difficulties for return.

deportations in the figure

The numbers speak for themselves: In 2024 there were 20,084 deportations nationwide, which represents an increase compared to previous years. In 2023, only 16,430 people were deported from Germany. According to these statistics, the latest data show that most of the deportations from the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg took place, so the BPB . In addition, not only adults were deported in the past year, but also a high number of minors, which concerned a total of 3,687

Deportation practice has changed in recent years. In 2024 there were 45,337 people who were rejected at the border. This is the highest number of rejections within the past ten years and illustrates the strict controls at the German borders. Also the media service integration indicates that deportations in Germany are carried out in cooperation between the federal states, the state police and the federal police.

legal framework and controversy

A central topic in the discussion about deportations are the legal framework. According to the German Asylum Act, asylum seekers who have rejected applications must leave Germany within a defined period. If non -compliance, the deportation is carried out by the responsible immigration authorities. Numerous other questions arise, in particular because those seeking protection are currently being rejected at the limits, which is controversial in the law.

In the context of European asylum law, the situation is even more complex. The Federal Ministry of the Interior recently issued a instruction that stipulates that those seeking protection can be strictly rejected at the limits, provided that they do not represent any “recognizable vulnerable” people. According to critics, the rejection of such people is illegal, according to international and European law, since each application must be checked individually.

The political and social tensions related to the topics of asylum, migration and deportation are becoming increasingly present in society. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether there will be significant changes in the legal system that affect deportation practice.
