Consistently deport foreign offenders and those required to leave

The BIW wants foreign serious and repeat offenders deported at the latest after their prison term and barred from returning for life. All others who are required to leave, such as rejected asylum seekers, should also have to leave Bremen.

Foreigners who commit serious crimes should have to leave Germany. This should happen after prison at the latest. They should never be allowed back. Bremen should also deport rejected asylum seekers.

Where legally possible, convicted offenders should serve all or part of their sentence in their home country. Among those required to leave, deportations should focus on people who committed crimes in Germany. The platform accuses the Senate of blocking deportations and notes that only 21 people were returned in 2021.

„Rasche Abschiebung ausländischer Schwerverbrecher und Mehrfachtäter in ihre Herkunftsländer, die spätestens nach dem Ende ihrer Haftzeit erfolgen muss.“

Translation: Swift deportation of foreign serious criminals and repeat offenders to their countries of origin, which must take place at the latest after the end of their prison term.

Placement

  • Civil liberties and securityleaning security and order first

    Deportation is used as a crime-fighting tool against offenders.

  • Migrationleaning restrictive

    Deportations are to be carried out far more often and paired with a lifelong re-entry ban, tightening enforcement of existing law.

House asylum seekers in shared accommodation

The BIW wants asylum seekers with pending cases and tolerated people who are required to leave to be housed in shared facilities as a rule, not in their own apartments. This is meant to reduce demand for low-cost housing.

Asylum seekers should live in shared housing. This applies while their case is still open. It also applies to people who must leave the country. They should not get their own apartment. The BIW wants to keep more cheap homes free for locals.

The rule would apply to people in the recognition procedure and to tolerated foreigners with an enforceable obligation to leave. The platform cites the tight market for inexpensive apartments in the state of Bremen as the reason. According to the BIW, the relief should benefit the local population.
