Overview
- Armin Schuster proposes using civil Beugehaft, described as “Ausreiseerzwingungshaft,” for non‑cooperative people obliged to leave Germany for periods of up to six months.
- He describes the step as harsh but necessary to create consequences for those who refuse administrative orders after all legal appeals are exhausted.
- The measure is a proposal that would require federal authority and likely legal adjustments before any application.
- Schuster calls for revising the European Convention on Human Rights, citing rulings that prevent transfers to some EU states such as Belgium over reception conditions.
- He urges faster returns and offers a Leipzig‑Halle airport terminal for a federal departure center, as Saxony lists 12,527 people obligated to leave, led by groups from Venezuela, Russia and Turkey.
