"Berlin’s immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in Germany.

The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency. The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between E.U. countries.

The orders — issued by the state of Berlin, whose Senate administration oversees immigration enforcement — are set to take effect in less than a month. None of the four has been convicted of any crimes.

The cases are drawing comparisons to the U.S.’s use of deportation orders to suppress social movements.

“What we’re seeing here is straight out of the far right’s playbook,” said Alexander Gorski, a lawyer representing two of the protesters. “You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”"

What is preventing this regime from disappearing ANYONE — EVEN US CITIZENS — to a foreign GULAG from which they can never be released? ANSWER: NOTHING! This is an outrage and should be universally condemned. I ask you to speak out, protest, and contact your Senators & Congresspersons in every way possible to stop these terrible violations of law and human rights!

🇺🇸 Donald Trump's policies benefit wealthy elites at the expense of everyone else.

His administration includes 13 billionaires, and he is cutting taxes on the rich and corporations while imposing a large consumption tax on the poor and working class.
