Germany Intensifies Deportations While Continuing Afghan Evacuation Efforts

Deportation flights target out-of-status individuals, including criminals, as thousands of vulnerable Afghans are relocated to Germany.

Germany recently deported 43 individuals, including 19 convicted criminals, to Pakistan via a Frontex-coordinated charter flight.
Hessen's Interior Minister Roman Poseck announced plans for more deportation flights, emphasizing the removal of criminals and other out-of-status individuals.
The federal government continues its program to evacuate vulnerable Afghans, with 155 individuals, including 27 former local staff, arriving in Berlin this week.
Criticism arises over the balance between deportations and the humanitarian intake, with opposition figures questioning the timing and scope of these programs.
Since the Taliban's return to power, Germany has relocated over 35,800 Afghans, with an additional 3,000 approved for future entry under existing commitments.
