Court of Justice: Expulsion after assault on police officers lawfully

A Syrian man who severely injured a police officer in Greifswald in 2022 was sentenced to three years in prison by the local court in May 2023 for grievous bodily harm. After his release, he moved to Gelsenkirchen, where the city issued an order for his deportation back to Syria. The Administrative Court of Gelsenkirchen ruled in an expedited decision that this deportation is lawful, citing the serious nature of the attack and the ongoing physical and psychological damage suffered by the officer. The court emphasized that the public interest in enforcing the deportation outweighs the individual’s personal interests and noted that the man poses a risk of repeating such behavior. The ruling also highlights the deterrent effect of such deportations on other foreign nationals. The decision allows for an appeal to the North Rhine-Westphalia Higher Administrative Court.
