The Potsdam Administrative Court dismissed an emergency application from a Yazidi family for reentry to Germany post-deportation to Iraq. The court cited a March 2023 ruling by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), which deemed the family’s protection claim "manifestly unfounded" and supported deportation. The judges also stated there was no evidence of individual persecution or significant threats from the Islamic State, despite the family's background as survivors of a genocide.
