Germany Mass Stabbing Suspect Pledged to ISIS, Groundswell to Mandate Enforcing Deportation Orders
|
[Breitbart] The Syrian asylum seeker suspected of killing three and injuring several others at a "festival of diversity" in Germany on Friday reportedly had a deportation order last year, but authorities failed to remove him from the country.
According to information obtained by German paper of record Die Welt, 26-year-old Issa Al H., the Syrian asylum seeker who surrendered himself to police on Saturday after the mass stabbing in Solingen, was supposed to be deported in 2023.
The attack has led to increased pressure on the leftist government coalition of Chancellor Olaf Scholz to crack down on mass migration and ramp up deportations.
The leader of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, Friedrich Merz, called for the government to begin deportations to Syria and Afghanistan, which have been halted over safety concerns, and to stop accepting asylum seekers from the countries.
"It’s enough," Merz wrote, saying: "After the terrorist act in Solingen, it should now be finally clear: it is not the knives that are the problem, but the people who run around with it... In the majority of cases, these are refugees, in the majority of the deeds, there were Islamist motives behind them."
The CDU leader also called on the government to immediately revoke residence status for any alleged asylum seeker who travels back to their home country after it was revealed that many so-called refugees from Afghanistan had vacationed in their homeland despite supposedly needing asylum from the country.
However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
while the centre-right party has been out of power since the end of 2021, some have still cast blame on the party given its role, under former leader Angela Merkel
...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom . Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists...
, for "opening the gates" to mass migration from the Middle East and Africa in 2015 and sparking the Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
Migrant Crisis.
The suspected terrorist had a removal date scheduled to have him sent to Bulgaria, the country where he first entered the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, and therefore, under the Dublin regulations, the country where he should have had his asylum claims processed.
However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
following his deportation order, Issa Al H. disappeared from his residence in the Western German city of Paderborn. He re-appeared several months later, but rather than removing him, he was reportedly granted "subsidiary protection" for people from countries with civil wars and transferred to a refugee centre in Solingen, where Friday’s attack took place.
While the suspect was apparently not on the radar of police for holy warrior leanings, the so-called Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) grabbed credit for the attack in Solingen, claiming that it was intended as an act of Dire Revenge against "Christians" for "Moslems in Paleostine and around elsewhere."
The alleged knifeman is also reported to have shouted out the jihadist war cry "Allahu Akbar" during Friday’s attack on the diversity festival, which saw three people killed and eight others injured, including four with life-threatening wounds. The suspected terrorist is said to have specifically targeted the necks of his victims.
A judge at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe ordered 26-year-old Issa Al H. held pending further investigation and a possible indictment after federal prosecutors said that he shared the radical ideology of the Islamic State extremist group — and was acting on those beliefs when he stabbed his victims repeatedly from behind in the head and upper body.
The suspect, wearing handcuffs and leg shackles, was taken Sunday from the police station in Solingen for the initial court appearance.
He “shares the ideology of the foreign terrorist organization Islamic State” and on the basis of his “radical Islamic convictions” decided “to kill the largest possible number of those he considers unbelievers” at the festival, the Office of the Federal Prosecutor said in a statement.
Authorities have documented seven attacks and 21 attempted or planned attacks in Western Europe since October 7, 2023. Thomas Mücke told DW. He works for the Violence Prevention Network (VPN), an organization dedicated to preventing extremism and deradicalizing violent criminals. Mücke thinks the rise is not surprising: "IS identified Western Europe as a target for attacks, obviously with the intention of spreading horror and fear and dividing society so that they can recruit even more people for their cause."
Mücke says that the perpetrators have become younger, with two-thirds of those arrested in Western Europe being teenagers. And the methods that are being used to appeal to them are also tailored to their age. "The internet plays a major role in radicalization and mobilization, as well as in recruitment."
The case of the suspect in the Solingen attack, 26-year-old Syrian Issa Al H.*, who had pledged allegiance to the "Islamic State" (IS) terror group, has highlighted how despite four major reforms in deportation law since 2015, many rejected asylum seekers are still able to fall through the cracks.
In January, the German government agreed to a raft of new measures first proposed by Interior Minister Nancy Faeser in 2023. This included extended detention periods for those slated for deportation, extended search and seizure rights for police who suspect a pending deportee to be hiding in a shared accommodation or not in possession of identification, and not informing rejected asylum seekers of their deportation date in an effort to hinder absconding. (There is an exception to the latter for minors or families with children.)
The Deportation Improvement Act also included a new rule stating that membership of a criminal organization, even if you haven't been convicted of a crime, is grounds for deportation.
The provisions of the new law regarding detention and deportation dates came into effect in February of this year, and the search and seizure provisions at the beginning of August.
In light of the changes, the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung reported in May that the official number of deportations in the first quarter of the year had risen dramatically. Some 3,566 people were deported in the first three months of 2023. In 2024, that number had climbed to 4,791, an increase of 34%.
Despite that, according to government records seen by the paper, some 7,048 planned deportations did not take place. In some cases, this is because pilots can refuse to fly deportation flights on technical grounds or because those scheduled for deportation may have serious health issues. However, in the vast majority of cases it is either because the rejected asylum seeker has disappeared or because their country of origin has not agreed to receive them.
PROTECTION OF SYRIAN NATIONALS
If people do not qualify as a refugees under the Geneva Refugee Convention, in Germany they are allowed to apply for something called "subsidiary protection" if they would be in serious danger if returned to their homeland.
Syria was removed from Germany's list of countries to which no one can deported in 2020. And in July, a court ruling on the deportation of a convicted human smuggler said that some parts of Syria are safe to return to. However, most Syrian refugees in Germany are still being granted subsidiary protection or allowed to remain under other circumstances.
Rejected asylum seekers are usually held in detention pending their deportation only if they are deemed a risk to public safety or if it is strongly suspected that they will try to flee. According to German media reports, Issa Al H. had not been flagged as either dangerous or a flight risk.
Further complicating matters in the case of the Solingen suspect were the sometimes complex and overlapping EU asylum laws. Before coming to the German city of Bielefeld and applying for asylum in 2022, Al H. had first arrived in the European Union via Bulgaria. Therefore, he should have been sent back to Bulgaria to have his asylum application processed.
However, if a person is in a second country for more than six months, the responsibility then transfers to their new location.
That deadline is extended to 18 months in the cases of people who cannot be found, during which time the authorities in their last known location are expected to carry out a search. It is not yet clear how extensive a manhunt was carried out for Al H. after it was determined that he had vanished. In any case, when authorities arrived at his accommodation in the city of Paderborn in June 2023 to send him to Bulgaria, he was nowhere to be found.
Some months later he reemerged in Germany, when he was put in the refugee home in Solingen. Due to the time elapsed, he was able to apply for asylum in Germany and was granted subsidiary protection.
LEGAL LIMBO
As of December 2023, there were 242,600 people in Germany slated for deportation. Sixty percent of them are rejected asylum seekers.
Further complicating deportation procedures in Germany is something known as the Duldung, or "tolerance" visa. People who have a Duldung live in a legal limbo where they are not immediately facing deportation because of, for example, a medical issue or because they are attending school in Germany.
People with a Duldung are usually not allowed to work and are restricted as to where they can travel. Local authorities are given the right to issue these visas on an individual basis according to need and how overwhelmed the responsible offices are. This can result in some people staying in Germany without a real residency permit for years.
As of October 2022, people who have been in Germany for five years with a Duldung and have not broken the law are now allowed to apply for an "opportunity visa" and are given 18 months to find a way of sustaining themselves. According to the authorities, pending applications for these visas are also part of the reason why some deportation orders are not carried out.
