Germany Sees Sharp Rise in Migrant Deportations in 2025
Israa Farhan
Germany has reported a significant increase in migrant deportations, with over 11,800 forced returns carried out in the first half of 2025 alone, according to data released by the Interior Ministry.
The figures, disclosed in response to a parliamentary inquiry by Leif-Erik Holm of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, mark a substantial rise from around 9,500 deportations during the same period in 2024.
That year, a total of more than 20,000 deportations were conducted, the highest number recorded in recent years.
The Interior Ministry's report
reflects
an accelerating trend as German authorities adopt a firmer stance on migration enforcement. The growing number of removals follows mounting political pressure to streamline deportation procedures and address overstays more effectively.
Earlier this month, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt joined counterparts from Austria, Denmark, France, the Czech Republic, and Poland in calling for stricter migration and asylum policies. In a joint statement, the ministers emphasized the need for effective returns to maintain public confidence in Europe's immigration system.
The coordinated push for tighter controls comes amid ongoing challenges across the EU, including growing asylum applications, increasing irregular migration, and political tensions over responsibility-sharing.
German officials have indicated that further legislative and operational reforms are likely, as the government seeks to reinforce its migration framework and align more closely with broader European efforts.
