German court halts deportation threat against three-month-old infant
A Wiesbaden administrative court suspended a removal order targeting a three-month-old baby, overturning a threat issued by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.
The court in Wiesbaden ruled that the infant cannot be separated from its parents, effectively pausing the deportation warning previously issued by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf). The decision highlights legal uncertainty surrounding the new EU migration reform. Lawyers are now debating whether the agency can threaten removal of a child without the parents present. The case underscores tensions between national courts and migration authorities.
