Five prisoners were transferred from the deportation prison in Darmstadt-Eberstadt to Pforzheim. The Hessian Refugee Council demands the release of the prisoners.
Because of the worldwide spread of the corona virus, no deportation flights are carried out, the only Hessian deportation facility in Darmstadt-Eberstadt is now empty. After the number of deportation prisoners had already decreased significantly in March, the last five prisoners were transferred to Pforzheim on Friday. Andrea Löb, spokeswoman for the police headquarters in South Hesse, which operates the facility, said this. Löb thus confirmed a corresponding message from the Hessian Refugee Council, which immediately called for the release of the prisoners.
According to a message from the Refugee Council, Hessen was one of the last federal states in which detainees awaiting deportation were still detained. Most of the other federal states would have closed their deportation prisons weeks ago because of the Corona crisis.
Facility
At the end of 2017, the state parliament cleared the way for its own detention facility. A separate law was necessary for this. The only Hessian facility in Darmstadt-Eberstadt was put into operation two years ago.
20 places are available. People are housed there if the authorities see a risk that they will be unable to deport them.
The facility is to be expanded to up to 80 seats. jjo

According to information from the Refugee Council, the deportation detainees transferred to Pforzheim are Turkish, Tunisian and two Moroccan nationals. Police spokeswoman Löb told the FR that a citizen of West African Ghana was also detained in Eberstadt on Wednesday and also brought to Pforzheim. Another refugee from the United States was released last week on a court order, according to the Refugee Council.

Timmo Scherenberg, the managing director of the Hessian Refugee Council, said in a message on Friday that there had been no deportations for weeks due to the Corona crisis. It was “completely incomprehensible” that Hessen still held on to the detention pending deportation and had now relocated the remaining prisoners to Pforzheim.
At the moment it is also not at all foreseeable when deportations will be possible again. Other federal states, such as North Rhine-Westphalia, would have instructed the immigration authorities at an early stage not to file new applications for custody and to review all detentions that had already taken place.
Scherenberg also asked Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) to formally suspend deportations for at least three months and also to draw the relevant residence law consequences, i.e. to refrain from detention and not to impose performance sanctions or work bans due to allegedly lacking participation.
