The German coalition government has agreed to a number of measures that should make it easier for authorities to deport certain migrants, especially criminals.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser presented a new migration law on Wednesday, which aims to improve the deportation of foreigners to their countries of origin.
The bill aims to give German authorities more powers to enforce the deportation of migrants deemed dangerous, including criminals and people smugglers.
The package of measures includes an extension of the permitted detention period for such people from 10 to 28 days to give authorities more time to prepare for deportation.
According to Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, a member of the Green Party, the proposed changes were accepted by the remaining members of Germany’s ruling coalition. – We will amend regulations that prevent or hinder deportation. This is especially true for faster deportation of criminals, he said.

Habeck also said he would encourage state authorities to make it easier for migrants to find work so they can earn a living and pay contributions to Germany’s social security system.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz invited opposition leader Friedrich Merz, head of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU), to a top-level meeting on Friday aimed at building consensus on a new migration policy. Two state leaders were also invited: Prime Minister of Hesse Boris Rhein (CDU) and Prime Minister of Lower Saxony Stephan Weil (SPD).
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in September that his country had reached its limit in accepting migrants. He stated that in the first half of this year, more than a third of all asylum applications across the EU were submitted to Germany. According to Steinmeier, “stronger controls and surveillance at our external borders” are needed to limit the number of people arriving in Europe.
