Overview
- Lawmakers debated a Greens motion to admit at‑risk Afghans with German pledges, which the CDU/CSU, SPD and AfD sent to the Interior Committee for further consideration.
- About 2,300 people with German admission promises are stranded in Pakistan, and roughly 250–260 of them have been deported to Afghanistan since mid‑August, according to reporting and ministry figures cited in parliament.
- Administrative courts have ordered immediate visas in around 40 cases, with many decisions upheld by higher administrative courts.
- The Interior Ministry says it has revoked about 40 admission promises since May, while the Administrative Court in Ansbach ruled blanket after‑the‑fact security rechecks unlawful in at least one decision.
- Green leader Felix Banaszak condemned the government’s handling and urged binding arrangements with Pakistan, while NGO Kabul Luftbrücke reported no deported beneficiaries have been brought back despite promises of quick help.
