Berlin’s immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in Germany.
The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency.
The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between E.U. countries. None of the four has been convicted of any crimes.
“What we’re seeing here is straight out of the far right’s playbook,” said Alexander Gorski, a lawyer representing two of the protesters. “You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”
Germany has a disgusting government.
International law: Conducting and Support of Genocide is Illegal.
U.S./Germany law: Protesting Genocide is Illegal.
Israel applying pressure on Germany.
If those EU citizens take it to EU court they’d probably win very easily. Can’t just take away freedom of movement, one of the tenets of the Union, without any due process. Seriously fuck the German politicians who pressured for this. Guess fascism is making a return, didn’t even need the AfD for that.
Just yesterday people were cheering up germany government for rearming for war and everyone arguing against it was being downvoted.
Albert Einstein is 100% correct.
Fucking disgusting.
Germany likes to pretend they’re super liberal and that they have no fascist citizens. They’ve gone completely to the other side of history where they now pretend like they’re above it all. I’m sick of people pretending like Germany is some sort of promised land
Nazis being Nazis
he tried to warn us
looks like German libs are doing the Kamala speedrun.
it’s not a coincidence they went after trans immigrants first, they know it’s easy to use us as guinea pigs for setting legal precedent.
I’m pretty sure Kamala, being a private citizen and not the president, has nothing to do with the deportations taking place in America right now.
I’d check who the current president is and assign blame to him.checks who the current president is
How could the democrats let this happen?!?
Who helped the recent spending bill pass again?
Are deportations part of the spending bill or are you moving the goal post?
Fine you want deportation specific? Democrats rubber stamped the Laken Riley act, fuck you.
My point was Democrats are literally working lockstep with Republicans and you’re too much a blue MAGAt to care.
I love your passion, but I’m just a dude thousands of miles away, eating popcorn and laughing in your general direction.
sure, if you wanna do a dog-shit ahistorical analysis of what lead to this, you could place the blame entirely on Trump.
do you seriously expect us to ignore the direct parallel between the Democrats adopting fascist rhetoric and deportations and the social Democrats in Germany adopting AfD propaganda in their program?
you either didn’t pay attention when she threw us under the bus to win the fascist electorate or You actively cheered her on as she was doing it. same for her being a rabid Zionist.
Agreed. The Democrats started this Mcarthyist witchhunt about Hamas supporting students and anti Zionism is anti semitism baloney. Thanks to them the Republicans were gifted with a ready made clampdown on civil rights.
