Germany's Merkel Pushes for Faster Deportations of Failed Asylum Seekers


The aim is to get more failed asylum seekers out of Germany – and faster. Chancellor Angela Merkel and state governors have agreed to push for a stepping up of deportations of those who do not have the right to stay in the country.

State governments are in charge of deportations at the moment, but it has become clear the federal government now wants more of a say.

“We believe this is necessary and we should do this because we want to be able to maintain the ability to help those who are entitled to humanitarian protection, who have also been legally recognised,” said Merkel.
