Germany
In 2026, about 9,000 deportation attempts from Germany failed, with expulsions decreasing by 18.2% compared to 2025. 77% of those required to leave had deferments. Physical force was used against 786 people, and the most expensive flight to Pakistan cost €518,000.
Infact verdict: Mixed (58/100).
The claims regarding Germany's deportation statistics in 2026 are mostly supported by the evidence. The claim about 9,000 failed deportations is corroborated by multiple sources, though the exact number varies slightly. The decrease in expulsions by 18.2% compared to 2025 is not directly supported by the evidence, which lacks specific figures for 2025. The claim about deferments due to illness or lack of documents is based on older data from 2018, making it less reliable for 2026. The use of physical force against 786 people is supported by reports from Human Rights Watch and the Global Detention Project. The claim about the €518,000 flight to Pakistan lacks direct evidence, with available data showing typical flight costs being much lower. Overall, the claims are partially supported, with some requiring more recent or direct evidence.
