Germany Plans Deportation of Four Foreign Residents Over Gaza Protests

German authorities are set to deport four foreign residents linked to pro-Palestinian protests, igniting concerns over civil liberties and political dissent in the country. The deportation orders, which will take effect within a month, target citizens from the U.S., Poland, and Ireland, despite none having been convicted of crimes. Critics, including attorney Alexander Gorski, argue that this move resembles tactics used by the far right to silence dissent by manipulating immigration laws. The allegations against the individuals include participation in demonstrations and chanting banned slogans, raising questions about the proportionality of the deportation actions. Internal objections from Berlin's immigration agency suggest political pressures are influencing these decisions, drawing parallels to deportation practices in the U.S. aimed at suppressing social movements.
