Overview

• The 40-year-old woman was deported on August 4 after expedited rulings by the Göttingen Administrative Court and the Lüneburg Higher Administrative Court approved her removal during an ongoing appeal.
• Fingerprint comparisons and embassy records established her Malawian nationality, overturning initial claims that she was from Burundi.
• About 100 people demonstrated in Göttingen and Green Party MP Marie Kollenrott warned that deporting her during pending court proceedings undermines confidence in the rule of law.
• The district administration asserts it followed all statutory directives in executing the deportation.
• A color attack on the local foreign authority office has triggered a state security investigation.
