Amberg Layout

At some point this morning, the Bavarian Ministry of Interior had this commentary, with a prosecutor, and Focus (the German news magazine) picked up four commentaries over the Amberg four migrants accused of roughing up and assaulting Germans around the city train station over the weekend.

So it kinda reads like a comedy of errors.  First, the ministry now admits that one of the guys has a false ID.  Whatever he told them upon arrival in Germany, about him being Syrian....well, it was bogus. 

You start with the first kid (18 years old).  He's Iranian (no doubt about his ID).  But here's the funny thing.  His asylum application?  Rejected, roughly 12 months ago. They actually gave him deportation papers in early 2018, and the Bavarians admit....nothing much has happened with him.  Why?  Well, it started out with a missing passport.  At present, it seems like no one can say for sure when he'll leave, or if he can possibly leave.  The Iranian government, my guess.....won't be that interested in getting some trouble-maker back into Iran.

The second 'kid'?  He's from Afghanistan but he's considered a minor and there is a deportation ban against sending Afghan minors back to the home country.  Apparently this event triggered the Ministry of Interior to go back to the BamF Agency (heading the national program of approval/disapproval for visas and control over the deportation rules.....asking for a waiver to send the 'kid' back.  If they don't approve a waiver, the Bavarians are more or less stuck with the 'kid' until he reaches some level of age maturity. 

The third 'kid'?  Another underage situation.  Oddly, BamF rejected his application for asylum back in spring of 2017 (at least 18 months since rejection).  While in this rejection situation and appealing his situation, he's been in some kind of cooking course.  His intention is to show progress so that the appeal judge might find cause and reason to undo the failed asylum paperwork.  Again, the underage rule is being used to delay his deportation.

Then you come to the fourth player in this situation.  He's not a kid, so he could be deported without any trouble.  But he's applied for asylum (sounds like several months ago) and he can't be deported until that process ends.  He apparently is another Afghan. 

The problem with this discussion, and 'comedy' of bureaucratic developments (often carried by both the state and federal government)....even if you fail an asylum application, it simply DOES NOT mean that you are deported in a short fashion.  Mentality and in the motivational side of life.....I have my doubts that you really feel that positive upon getting the turn-down paperwork and refusal for asylum, and that probably starts some bad behavioral episodes to start up. 

The odds that the ages of the three 'kids' will be reviewed and some suggestion that they are all over the age of 21?  This might start up, and it might go down some path were someone didn't verify their ages and screwed up within the bureaucratic mess.  But the typical German will look at all of this and ask the magic question....who can I fire....to make an impression on someone?  And there just isn't such a person.
