More individuals are being returned to their homelands from Germany this year. We shall see who is being returned and why. In the first half of 2024, Germany returned about 9,500 people to their homelands; much more, about 70% more, in comparison with the previous year. Only about 7,861 individuals were returned in the same period in 2023.
Most of the people returned were from Turkey. The next biggest groups of returned individuals included those from Georgia, North Macedonia, Afghanistan, Albania, and Syria, in that order. Some countries received a large number of their residents back, such as Georgia and North Macedonia.
Several factors are contributing to this:
1. The government wishes to return more people without permission to stay.
2. There was an awful attack in the town of Solingen, which made people want rules to be harsher.
3. Last year, the head of Germany said they needed to send back a lot of people.
Sometimes Germany transfers people to other countries in Europe instead of sending them to their home country. That is called a Dublin transfer. About one-third of those transferred were Dublin transfers.
At the end of June, there were 226,882 people in Germany who needed to leave. But not all of them have to go right away :
– Some 182,000 can remain due to special reasons, such as illness.
– 44,155 individuals should be returned immediately.
Returning is not always possible. During the first half of 2024:
– More than 14,000 times, local police didn’t turn people over for return.
– 534 times, an already initiated return had been brought to a halt.
This could be due to reasons that:
– Flight cancellations
Missing or ill people, airlines or pilots declining, resisting people, medical reasons, and legal stuff in the process
The German government, in February, instituted new rules aimed at making the process of returning individuals to their respective countries easier. These include:
* Facilitating the return of those who committed crimes
* Giving more authority to the authorities in charge
* Allowing the police to search living areas and check phones
The government is hopeful that these new regulations will enable it to send more unauthorized persons back home from Germany.
