Stuttgart Family Linked to 154 Crimes Faces Deportation Debate

Despite a lengthy criminal record, a Syrian family in Stuttgart remains in Germany due to legal protections against deportation.

A Syrian family in Stuttgart has been linked to 154 criminal offenses since March 2020, including attempted manslaughter and theft.
The family, consisting of 13 children, has been in Germany since 2016 and lives in a large house in the city's north.
Three brothers from the family are in custody for a violent stabbing incident in July, which left a 37-year-old man critically injured.
Calls for the family's deportation have intensified, but legal barriers prevent their removal due to their protected status.
Authorities have offered various support measures to the family, but these have reportedly had little impact on reducing criminal activity.
