32 deportations in the first half of the year: intensive offenders affected in Lake District
In the first half of 2025, the security authorities in the Mecklenburg Lake District deported a total of 32 rejected asylum seekers. This is reported by the Northern Courier. In comparison, the number of deportations in 2024 and 2023 was 59 and 58. The new figures make it clear that the issue of deportations is still very popular in the region.
As the data shows, a total of 20,084 deportations were counted throughout Germany in 2024 alone, which once again underlines the relevance of these measures. Most people are deported, especially from the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. A closer look at the deportation numbers in recent years gives an idea of how this practice has developed: in 2023 there were 16,430 deportations, in 2022 12,945 and in 2021 11,982, like that Federal Center for Civic Education reveals. The trend shows an increase - the highest value since 2016, when a total of 47,505 people were deported, rejected or pushed back.
Intensive offenders before deportation
The focus is on particularly explosive cases in the region. A 21-year-old Egyptian man who was sentenced to seven months in prison for aggravated arson has already been deported. On February 16, 2024, he set fire to a mattress in his prison cell, causing damage of around 8,000 euros. A 39-year-old Tunisian known as the “granny robber” who stole from 18 elderly women is also facing deportation. He has appealed against his sentence of three years in prison.
The situation is further complicated by a 19-year-old Sierra Leonean who was sentenced to two years and two months in a youth prison for a series of crimes. However, he has no identification documents, which makes deportation difficult. Another case concerns a young man from Morocco who was sentenced to one year and ten months in prison for aggravated arson and whose offense caused damage of around 25,000 euros.
Legal framework
But what happens to rejected asylum seekers in Germany? People whose asylum application has been rejected must leave Germany within a set period of time. Otherwise, deportation will be carried out by the immigration authorities Media service integration explained. Deportations usually take place in cooperation between the federal states and the state and federal police. According to the Schwerin Ministry of the Interior, around 700 rejected asylum seekers from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania should be deported in 2024; Of these, around 370 measures were successful.
Nevertheless, there have been repeated legal disputes in connection with deportations in the past. On June 2, 2025, the Berlin Administrative Court declared the rejections at German borders unlawful - a fact that continues to make the political and legal landscape complex.
Overall, the discussion about deportations remains a hot topic that is attracting attention both in the region and nationwide. In view of the increasing numbers and the sometimes shocking individual fates, the question arises as to what will happen next with asylum policy in Germany.
