FILE - German Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser arrives at a press conference in Szeged, Hungary, on Nov. 27, 2023. The German government on Wednesday, June 26, 2024 launched a plan to ease the deportation of foreigners who publicly approve of terrorist acts, legislation under which a single comment on social media could provide grounds for kicking people out.
“Such brutalization online stokes a climate of violence that can drive extremists to new acts of violence,” Faeser added. “So it’s very clear to me that Islamist agitators who mentally live in the Stone Age have no place in our country. Anyone who has no German passport and glorifies terrorist acts here must, wherever possible, be expelled and deported.”
