Germany: Seehofer wants to push through deportations to Syria from January 1st

Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU) wants to push through deportations to Syria immediately at the beginning of the new year.

Berlin - "We have discussed with the President of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees that we will examine every single case carefully from January 1, 2021 and try to make a deportation possible. It there are cases in which this is conceivable," said Seehofer to Bild am Sonntag. "I also know that this is a difficult and long journey."

Seehofer said: "But if we don't do that, it means that you can do anything in Germany - from shoplifting to manslaughter. In any case, you never have to expect to be deported. Such a license is allowed not given to our constitutional state."

Seehofer added: "One thing must be very clear: Anyone who commits serious offenses or tramples our constitution must leave our country."
