The Bremen interior authorities received clear gossip from the administrative court: The deportation of clan boss Ibrahim Miri in 2019 was illegal.
Bremen – The two deportations of clan chief Ibrahim Miri from Bremen to Lebanon in July and November 2019 were illegal. The Bremen Administrative Court has now come to this judgment, which has followed suit by Miri, who lives in Beirut.
Nevertheless, the 48-year-old is not allowed to re-enter Germany: The 4th Chamber also found on Monday that a seven-year entry and residence ban had been lawfully issued. Even for the purpose of visiting, Miri is not allowed to legally enter the Federal Republic. Appeals against the judgment are possible at the Higher Administrative Court.
The authorities should not have deported Miri on July 10, 2019 because, according to the court, he still had a legally effective toleration at that time. “A tolerated foreigner may not be deported,” said judge Niklas Stahnke. Miri, who had several previous convictions in Germany, returned after the first deportation and had applied for asylum, which was rejected as unfounded. He was then deported again on the night of November 22nd to 23rd, 2019.
This was also illegal, the court found: During the second deportation, the Bremen interior authorities did not adhere to the previously made standstill promises. In plain language: Miri was deported several days earlier than previously insured by the interior authorities. This violates the principle of granting legal protection and is “simply and purposefully” illegal, explained Stahnke.
The fact that Miri is still not allowed to enter Germany is due to the decision of the state immigration authorities, which issued a seven-year entry and residence ban on him. According to the court, this is not legally objectionable, not inappropriate and will last for another five years. The chamber also sees the plaintiff as a threat to public safety. Between 1989 and 2014, Miri was legally convicted a total of 19 times in Germany, including for robbery, serious theft, stolen goods, embezzlement and drug trafficking as a gang.
At that time, his mandate was picked up, handcuffed and gagged and put on the plane that night, lawyer Albert Timmer reminded of the deportation. Only after landing was he told that he had been deported. “An example should be made with the deportation,” said Timmer. You no longer wanted to take the personal interests of your client seriously.
The personal environment also included the partner who was pregnant at the time and gave birth to a daughter a few days after the deportation, who is now 19 months. The 34-year-old also has a 13-year-old son, Miri. According to her, her fiancé lives in a small apartment in Beirut and keeps her head above water with caretaker jobs. She has nothing to do with the Miri family, she is also not a Lebanese and did not previously know what a clan was.
The Bremen authorities pointed out at the hearing that the plaintiff had previously been obliged to leave the country for 33 years. In addition, it continues to pose a risk to public safety and order in Germany with a sufficient degree of probability. He had been imprisoned eleven times in Germany, had over ten years of imprisonment experience and, according to the expert, had a very high statistical risk of relapse. dpa
