32 deportations in the first half of the year: intensive offenders in the lake plate affected

In the first half of 2025, the security authorities in the Mecklenburg Lake District district deported a total of 32 rejected asylum seekers. This is reported by the Nordkurier . In comparison, the number of deportations in 2024 and 2023 was 59 and 58. The new figures clarify that the topic of deportations are still very popular in the region.

As the data show, a total of 20,084 deportations across Germany were counted in 2024 alone, which underlines the relevance of these measures. Most people are deported in particular from the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. A closer look at the deportation figures in recent years gives an idea of how this practice developed: in 2023 there were 16,430 deportations, 2022 12.945 and 2021 11.982, like the Bundentrale for political education reveals. The trend therefore shows an increase - the highest value since 2016, when a total of 47,505 people were deported, rejected or pushed back.

The situation is also complicated by a 19-year-old Sierra-Leoner, who was sentenced to two years and two months of youth due to a series of crimes. However, he has no identification papers, which makes deportation difficult. Another case concerns a young man from Morocco who was sentenced to one year and ten months in prison for serious arson and whose offenses caused a damage of around 25,000 euros.

legal framework conditions

But what happens to rejected asylum seekers in Germany? People whose asylum application has been rejected must leave Germany within a specified period. Otherwise there is a deportation by the immigration authority, as explained by the Media service Integration . The deportations are usually carried out 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; About 370 measures were successful.

Nevertheless, there have been legal disputes in connection with deportation in the past. On June 2, 2025, the Berlin Administrative Court declared the rejections at German borders to be unlawful - a fact that continues to make political and legal landscape complex.

Overall, the discussion about deportations remains a hot iron that attracts attention both in the region and nationwide. In view of the increasing figures and the sometimes shattering individual fates, the question arises how to proceed with asylum policy in Germany.
