return improvement law in the Bundestag is to be adopted in the Bundestag
Osnabrück/Berlin, January 17, 2024 - Tomorrow Thursday. Clearing are intended for deportation and deportation as well as the restriction of social and health services for refugees. The children's rights organization Terre of Hommes criticizes that the well -being of refugee children is massively endangered.
Among other things, immigration authorities and the police should receive far -reaching powers in returns in order to be able to carry out unannounced nightly deportations. »In the future, families with children can be torn and deported by the police from the beds at night without warning. This can be deeply traumatized and is a clear violation of the priority of child welfare, «said Sophia Eckert, migration expert at Terre des Hommes.
At the same time, the supply duration of asylum seekers from 18 to 36 months is to be increased. During this time, social and health services are severely restricted. »All children, no matter who they are and where they come from, have the right to adequate health care, participation and a decent subsistence level. The Asylum Seekers' Performance Act clearly violates these rights. We are horrified that the federal government doubles the duration of reference instead of finally abolishing the inhumane special social law for refugees, «Sophia Eckert criticizes the new regulation.
The Federal Government is committed to not taking children in deportation. In exceptional cases, however, the detention of minors should be possible. Mandatory defense is also regulated during the deportation. “No child belongs in deportation. It is unbearable that the Federal Government keeps a back door open to be able to arrest in exceptional cases, «says Eckert. »It is a milestone that will significantly strengthen the rights of those affected in this dark area of the right of residence in the future. However, this in no way weighs the massive tightening of the legislative package. "
