The deportation of Bremer Ibrahim Miri, declared by Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer as a matter of priority, is apparently delayed by several days. The reason should be a glitch at the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf).
Admittedly, the authority subordinate to the Minister of the Interior had the decision on the rejected asylum application sent by messenger to the Bremen attorney Albert Timmer, who represents Miri, on 8 November. "However, the Federal Office had forgotten to attach a legal remedy to the letter," says Timmer.
At the beginning of this week Seehofer's office sent the decision to the law firm again, this time by registered letter and with all attachments. Timmer: "It was not until the arrival on Tuesday that a seven-day deadline for an appeal against the decision and an urgent petition for suspensive effect of the lawsuit began, which I will file in time."
For Seehofer the delay is annoying. Since Miri illegally returned from Lebanon to Bremen after a first deportation in July, his top officials are working to deport the man as soon as possible. The Minister wants to prevent the repeatedly convicted of Miri again released.
For the time being, the district court of Bremen has limited the period of deportation until 2 December. An appeal by attorney Timmer rejected the court. Now the district court has to decide on this. This is not to be expected before Monday, the authority said.
