## Summary

Germany deported 14,324 people from January to September 2026, nearly 19% fewer than in the same period a year earlier. The figures, released by the Interior Ministry after a request from the Left Party, show an overall decline in removals from the country.

Turkey was the most common destination, with 2,025 people returned there, followed by Georgia and Algeria. Only six people were deported to Syria, where the political situation makes returns difficult, including for convicted criminals; meanwhile, 14,140 people received help to return voluntarily, up from 12,263 the previous year.
