  • Since a police officer was killed by an Afghan migrant in June, Germany has been pursuing a more hardline policy on deportations.
  • Germany’s interior ministry said that it was “examining how to create the operational and legal conditions for deportations to Afghanistan”, adding that “the payment of financial travel assistance can serve to create such legal conditions”.

  • Berlin has said it would only deport criminals convicted of violence or those considered a terror threat.
