A German court rejects a request to suspend the deportation of a Somali woman

Friday 9 Oct 2026 {HMC} A court located in the city of Mainz in Germany has rejected an urgent request made by a 38-year-old Somali woman to suspend the decision to deport her to her home country, after her refugee status was revoked, and her residency permit expired.

This woman previously sparked controversy on social media, particularly on TikTok, after she posted videos calling for violence against members of a clan she is in conflict with in Somalia. In September of this year, she was found guilty of inciting hatred and was fined a total of 5,400 Euros.

The administrative court in Mainz stated that there were no legal obstacles preventing the execution of the woman's deportation order, as her residency permit expired in July, without her applying for an extension.

The judges also noted that there was insufficient evidence presented to show that the woman would face legal death or torture if returned to the country. The court indicated that her claims regarding those dangers were general and not supported by concrete evidence.

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees in Germany (BAMF) revoked the woman's refugee status in May of this year, after it was discovered that she had traveled to Somalia several times, and that she had documented her travels in videos she posted on TikTok.

This action caused her to lose the protection she had in Germany as a refugee. When her residency permit also expired in July, steps were initiated for her deportation.

Although the court rejected the request to suspend the deportation, it partially accepted its complaint regarding the prohibition of entry and residence in Germany for a period of five years.
