While the AfD Party states a highly priority to exercise deportations.....'how' remains unanswered.
As of July 2025 (the most recent publicly available data from the German Federal Ministry of the Interior), approximately 220,800 people are living in Germany without an official residence permit and are subject to deportation obligations.
This includes 178,512 individuals with a "Duldung" (tolerated stay), where deportation is temporarily suspended due to legal, humanitarian, or practical reasons (lack of travel documents/passports, medical issues, or ongoing education).
On top of that....42,296 individuals without even a tolerated stay, meaning they are fully obligated to leave but have not yet done so.
The feds are not part of the system.....it's a state-by-state effort. So they arrange a plane....figure around 28 deportees with papers finally....who are escorted/flown with roughly 40 police....to their country (forcibly).
AfD has never clearly said how they would resolve this.
Presently, with the improved relationship with Afghanistan....it's possible that a 'deal' might be worked out with higher numbers sent home. But even in the wildest of scenarios....with the AfD in power....it's hard to see more than 10,000 per year being physically deported.

Probably because they're like all other populist parties that talk about easy solutions to complex problems. When they actually get into power you find out they don't have a clue what they're doing, a la Reform UK.
If you do the cost factor (one plane, 50 police-escort, round-trip)...carrying 28 deportees....there's nearly a million Euro spent. I always thought they should just offer 'cash' (40k Euro)....if you just board a plane on your own and go 'home'. Out of 10,000 guys....Just guessing that half would readily accept the deal. Germans might not be happy....but it lessens the mess.
