Berlin Police Union Calls for Stricter Measures on Deportations

The union advocates for real-time monitoring in refugee shelters and increased use of detention to address deportation challenges.

The Berlin Police Union has proposed mandatory daily attendance checks in refugee accommodations to improve deportation success rates.
Union leader Stephan Weh highlights the issue of migrants being warned about deportations through social media, allowing them to evade authorities.
A joint detention center with Brandenburg at Berlin's BER airport is suggested to handle deportees while maintaining humanitarian standards.
In August, only 42 out of a planned 330 deportations to Moldova were executed, and similar shortfalls were noted for Georgia in September.
A reported 19% decrease in deportations in the first half of 2024 is partly attributed to police resources being diverted to the Football European Championship.
