(Re)migration policy of the noAfD: deportation police aka Trump ICE, private deportation companies and curfew, naturalization only for the rich

dossier

“The AfD parliamentary group in the Bavarian state parliament is tightening its course: at the end of its closed meeting in Upper Bavaria, it called for a special police force to more quickly apprehend and deport immigrants who are obliged to leave the country - following the example of the USA. (…) In order to be able to apprehend and deport these people more quickly, the AfD parliamentary group wants to set up a special police force - similar to Donald Trump's controversial ICE force in the USA. (…) In addition, the state parliament AfD wants to purchase its own Bavarian deportation planes and make things more uncomfortable for asylum seekers: no more cash benefits, just “bread, bed and soap,” said Ebner-Steiner literally. “The whole thing is combined with an evening curfew for asylum seekers.”…”Contribution by Christoph Dicke from January 23rd, 2026 in BR (“AfD faction wants deportation police based on Trump’s ICE model”), see more information, including asylum plans in Saxony-Anhalt:

• After noAfD election success in Saxony-Anhalt: Turkish community calls for the residency requirement for refugees to be lifted and protective measures for those affected
  • Saxony-Anhalt: Turkish community considers residency requirement unreasonable after AfD victory
    “The Turkish community is demanding that no more asylum seekers be sent to Saxony-Anhalt. Nobody should be forced to become a target of right-wing extremists.
    After the AfD's success in the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, the Turkish Community in Germany (TGD) considers it unreasonable to send asylum seekers to the state. “People with a migration history in Saxony-Anhalt no longer have time for theoretical security debates,” said the TGD federal chairman, Gökay Sofuoğlu, to the dpa news agency. From now on, politicians must “actively protect them from right-wing extremists”. Refugees are particularly at risk. “We call on the federal government to lift the residency requirement for refugees,” said Sofuoğlu. Nobody should have to stay in a place where they could become a target for right-wing extremists. "We must not only react after people have been killed," he said.
    Stay only permitted in the district
    The so-called residence requirement is referred to in the Asylum Act as a “spatial restriction”. It states that during the asylum procedure, those affected may only leave the area of ​​the city or district in which they are accommodated with official permission…”Agency report from September 8, 2026 in Zeit online to:
  • After the AfD election success in Saxony-Anhalt: TGD calls for concrete protection guarantees for those affected
    “After the AfD's election victory in Saxony-Anhalt, the Turkish community in Germany is calling for immediate and consistent protection for everyone who becomes the target of right-wing extremist violence
    The AfD, which the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified as definitely right-wing extremist, has become the strongest force in Saxony-Anhalt. This is an alarming signal for the Turkish community in Germany (TGD) - especially for people with migrant backgrounds, Muslims, Jews, queer people and other groups who are made into enemies by the extreme right. After this result, many of those affected are wondering whether they can continue to live safely and move freely in Saxony-Anhalt.
    "It's not about abstract percentages now. It's about concrete people who are asking themselves this morning whether they are still safe on the street, whether their children come to school without fear and whether they continue to naturally belong in this country," explains Mehtap Çağlar, federal chair of the TGD. “No one should be a target because a person is read as a migrant, belongs to a different religion, is queer or does not fit into the ethnic worldview of the extreme right.”
    Gökay Sofuoğlu, federal chairman of the TGD, demands concrete consequences from the federal and state governments: "If people have to seriously consider whether they have to leave their place of residence after a democratic election, then we have a massive constitutional security problem. The state cannot now wait until political threats turn into concrete violence."
    The TGD therefore calls on the democratic factions in the newly elected state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, the federal government and the state prime ministers to ensure rapid and bindingly financed expansion and the preservation of existing protection, advice and prevention services for those affected by anti-Semitic, racist, anti-Muslim and anti-queer violence. The federal and state governments must secure the necessary funding programs in the long term and, in particular, take concrete precautions where openly announced exclusion and expulsion plans are likely to worsen the threat situation. "The answer to right-wing extremist intimidation must never be the adaptation of those affected. We need reliable structures that people can turn to when they are threatened, and a state that credibly signals to them: We will protect you," emphasizes Sofuoğlu. (…)
    The TGD urgently appeals to all democratic factions to maintain the firewall against the AfD without any ifs and buts and to defend the constitutional rights of all people. "The firewall must now under no circumstances be given a door. Democratic responsibility is demonstrated right now: by protecting those who are made targets - especially when it becomes inconvenient," said Gökay Sofuoğlu.”Press release from September 7, 2026 from the Turkish community in Germany (TGD)
• #nichtmituns #nichtmitmir #ICEfrei: Statement and campaign against the AfD faction's demand in Bavaria for a special police force modeled on ICE
  "At the end of its closed meetings on January 23, 2026, the AfD parliamentary group in Bavaria called for a special police force to search for asylum seekers who are required to leave the country and to organize deportations. According to media information, in the draft for the AFA (Asylum, Search and Deportation Group) it explicitly refers to the US agency ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). A special police force using Trump's ICE as an example is a significant danger for human rights. It has no right to exist in the USA, nor should it be implemented in Germany (…) Police officers are used politically - When police authorities are used specifically for migration or security policy, police officers find themselves in a role conflict: bowing to the rule of law and political pressure means capitulating to fascism, alienating any idea of neutrality and failing to fulfill the police mission: for the good of the people To serve the German people and to protect the constitution and laws. ICE uses the most brutal methods to hunt down people. Most recently, Alex Pretti was killed in operations in Minneapolis. This is the normalization of state violations of the law. This is fascism Structures that, systemically, inevitably lead to more violence within our society.Join the campaign on social media using these hashtags! #Notwithus #Notwithme #ICEfree” Press statement dated January 26, 2026 from BetterPolice 
• Election campaign in Bavaria: AfD only wants naturalization for the rich - and deportation police
  "The Bavarian AfD wants to lock up naturalization exclusively for rich people and asylum seekers in the evenings. In addition: private deportation companies, German deportation police aka Trump-ICE and separate routes to school for children who need language support.
  Six weeks before the local elections, the Bavarian AfD is once again sharpening its right-wing stance. According to the wishes of the AfD parliamentary group, the usefulness of people for the state and the economy should in future be a decisive criterion before naturalization. “The German passport should only be available after successful integration, and these people must also have qualifications that are useful to our state,” said AfD parliamentary group leader Katrin Ebner-Steiner after a parliamentary group meeting, this time in Upper Bavaria.
  In addition, the state parliament AfD is demanding that asylum seekers no longer be allowed to leave their accommodation in the evening. The residency requirement for asylum seekers must be consistently implemented again, combined “with an evening curfew for asylum seekers,” demanded Ebner-Steiner, arguing: “This will lead to an increase in public safety.” (…)
  In the future, deportations should also be able to be carried out by private companies, said Ebner-Steiner. And they are calling for the creation of an “asylum search and deportation group” by the Bavarian police, with parallels to the controversial US immigration agency ICE, as she explained…”Article from January 25th, 2026 in Migazin 
• State election 2026 Saxony-Anhalt - AfD draft program: Hard line on migration, media and family
  “With a 156-page draft for a government program for the 2026 state elections, which is available exclusively to MDR SAXONY-ANHALT, the AfD Saxony-Anhalt is announcing a fundamental political break. Migration, democracy, media, education and energy are apparently to be realigned. In addition to demands that question central democratic foundations, the program contains numerous projects whose effects would primarily affect people with little money, families and rural regions.
  The central leitmotif of the AfD program is apparently so-called “remigration”. While the term was still being discussed in the back rooms of Potsdam two years ago, it is now a core message of the program. According to the draft program, a “180-degree turnaround in migration policy” and a comprehensive deportation offensive are called for. Migration is presented as a fundamental threat, linked to terms such as “foreign to culture” or “hostile to the country”. Asylum should expressly only be a “temporary guest right”.
  Remigration and a strong state: Interventions in rights and everyday life
  The draft paints a picture of a strong, decisive state that enforces order through coercion if necessary. In terms of tone and measures, the concept is reminiscent of the US deportation authority ICE with centralized accommodation, work obligations and rigorous enforcement of departure requirements.
  Apparently the plan is to provide centralized accommodation outside city centers, a nationwide obligation to work for asylum seekers and the confiscation of assets upon entry. According to the program, cash, credit cards and other valuables “should be seized, confiscated and used to finance room and board.” The program describes deportation officers as “everyday heroes who do their service for the people and fatherland.".."
