Berlin scandal: Tax money for anti-deportation website unveiled!

The Federal Government recently confirmed that it has taken over the financing for the anti-deportation guide from "Handbook Germany". These funds come from the budget of the Federal Government's integration officers, Reem Alabali-Radovan from the SPD. This was revealed in response to a request from the members of the Bundestag Joana Cotar. Cotar, who was a member of the AfD until November 2022, had specifically asked about the sources of financing. On the website that is aimed at migrants, paths are described how rejected asylum seekers can escape deportation.

One of the central recommendations on the website is to complain against the decision of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), since no deportation may be done during the ongoing lawsuit. Furthermore, it is advisable to use pro-asylic clubs. Special attention is paid to the so-called Dublin Ordinance, according to which the six-month period for the transfer of an asylum seeker begins again when an urgent application is submitted. This legal loophole was used, for example, by the assassin of Solingen.

EU and other supporters finance project

The "Handbook Germany" project is not only supported by German government funds, but also 90 percent by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) of the European Union. Supplementary financing comes from the integration officer Alabali-Radovan, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees and the International Rescue Committee. In addition to the anti-deportation tips, other migration topics are also dealt with on the platform that are intended to support migrants in integration.

A particularly controversial point is the reference to the website "Stop deportations. This page is operated by a Hessian anti-deportation group that has connections to the left-wing radical scene in Frankfurt. Here is openly called on to "face deportation for political reasons". A text on this page even contains instructions "how you can still try to prevent your deportation on the plane".

recommendations for rejected asylum seekers

The guide on "Handbook Germany" encourages rejected asylum seekers not to sit down on the plane and to make it clear that they do not fly voluntarily. Supporters are asked to inform the other passengers of the aircraft and motivate them to protest. Even after a successful deportation, asylum seekers can make follow -up applications on the website according to the recommendations. These can be successful, for example, if a applicant is diagnosed with a previously undetected "heavy war trauma".

These measures and the financing of the guide are extremely controversial and have already led to intensive discussions. For further details and a deeper analysis of this topic, you can use the complete report on JungFreiTheit.de view.
