On Tuesday morning, an attempt was made to deport Mohammad K. in a large-scale operation. The deportation was prevented by the mobilization of friends and neighbors. Mohammad K. has been living in Leipzig for about seven years and has now been taken to a clinic in Leipzig under police custody for necessary medical care. The federal government is planning to introduce a so-called "right of opportunity to stay" soon. In some federal states, so-called "anticipatory regulations" are already being used to prevent people who fall under the so-called "right of opportunity to stay" from being deported. In Saxony, however, such a regulation does not yet exist. read more

Also criticized is a lack of awareness and insufficient classification of anti-Muslim behavior and crimes, which leads to insufficient reporting. Especially women* wearing headscarves experience particularly discriminatory behavior. The report also formulates recommendations in the areas of law enforcement, criminal justice, cultural life and education, among others. read more

Some municipalities and cities have also temporarily stopped admissions, such as Hanover, Dresden and Leipzig. read more

Saturated housing market makes it even more difficult for refugees to move out of temporary accommodation centers to individual housing, hindering the integration process. An Afghan family describes the situation they found in Munich, one of the most expensive cities in the country. Some sort of “unfavorable competition between people fleeing violence” has also been felt after the arrival of Ukrainian refugees who are also looking for housing. This article is part one of a three-part series about finding housing as a refugee in Germany. read more

A four-year-old Syrian girl died last week, after days adrift on a boat from Lebanon. This week, two babies and a child of 12 are amongst the victims who died of dehydration on a migrant boat that had set off from Turkey. People continue to die on their journeys to Europe because rescues come too late. More than 1,200 people have already died in the Mediterranean Sea in 2022, adding to almost 25,000 deaths since 2014. Nevertheless, Europe continues to prioritize border control over sea rescue. There are no EU ships patrolling the areas where most boats enter in distress, but Frontex’s aerial surveillance to intercept and return people, as shown in overwhelming evidence. read more

The German Association of Cities is calling for a summit to be convened to discuss the accommodation of refugees. Bottlenecks are expected, especially in winter. There is therefore an urgent need to talk about the necessary increase in the reception capacities of the federal states, a fair distribution of refugees and an appropriate reimbursement of costs. The current distribution of refugees is not working. Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has already said that the reception and distribution of many refugees is a major humanitarian act and that new consultations are therefore needed. read more

Migration counseling has a crucial role to play in the integration of immigrants, says Ulrich Lilie, President of the Federal Association. The federal government should keep its promises from the coalition agreement and provide more money for counseling centers. read more
According to a report by Save the Children, refugee children on the so-called Balkan route are often exposed to beatings, sexual abuse and exploitation. They are at the mercy of police officers, "smugglers" and other strangers, and thus mostly adults in positions of power. The lack of protective measures also poses a particular danger to unaccompanied minor refugees. read more
