Germany Turns to U.S. Playbook: Deportations Target Gaza War Protesters

Give me one example
Immediately goes on a threatening and extreme Anti-Zionist rant.
history won’t fare well of people like you
History already tried to kill people like me. We are still here.
Zionists know that the Jewish people need a state to protect their existence. You want the country destroyed that's home to half the world's Jewish people. Zionism is necessary because of people like you.
Zionism is an ethno-nationalist death cult, just like Nazism. Your Lebensraumprojekt needs to end, as soon as possible. Stop playing the victim card while you’re victimizing millions of Palestinians through GENOCIDDE, while you’re being simply called out on supporting an apartheid ethno-state that is wiping out every living being in Gaza as we speak and expanding that to the West Bank currently.

Heart. You’ve got it. It’s in the right place.
If I may offer my perspective-
My natural response here is “wow thank you for doing the legwork, maybe a German article will be posted later tonight, let’s check back“
Thanks! Tough to do it sometimes but I don’t want this to become like Reddit or leave the narrative to people who dismiss anything they don’t like to hear as fake news. It’s enough that Trump made this a thing, I don’t think we need it here, especially in this case where imo there was never any evidence for this being fake news and now there’s indeed more articles.

It is heart breaking to see Germany begin to give in to fascism again. What happened to "never again!" ???
People started to claim that the people did the thing that was supposed to never happen again did them with no moral self-justifications. This lead to the same evil people getting away with evil yet again if they pull out a (usually fabricated) crime statistics, etc.

Just yesterday people were cheering up germany government for rearming for war and everyone arguing against it was being downvoted.

Yeah nothing in the taz - Germanys biggest left wing newspaper. Nothing in the Zeit and nothing in Tagespiegel (Berlin Newspaper) either.
Hey, you didn’t happen to search this again today did you? Just curious, thank you!

Also had a look at their comment history, does not look very damning to me. Can you link a comment you are referring to?

Berlin’s immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in Germany.
The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency.
The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between E.U. countries. None of the four has been convicted of any crimes.
“What we’re seeing here is straight out of the far right’s playbook,” said Alexander Gorski, a lawyer representing two of the protesters. “You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”

If those EU citizens take it to EU court they’d probably win very easily. Can’t just take away freedom of movement, one of the tenets of the Union, without any due process. Seriously fuck the German politicians who pressured for this. Guess fascism is making a return, didn’t even need the AfD for that.

I'm sure i've even commented before that they should kill putin but according to the propaganda you must have it tattoed on your body or it doesn't count and you are still a russian troll.

It was a lie.
My prediction, built on assuming we're in the stupidest timeline, is that Germany will try to help the Palestinians...by carving a new homeland for them out of Poland.

Isn’t it weird that all these individuals are coming in droves to the comments to cast doubts on the veracity of an article from reputable journal? Almost feels like a coordinated effort.
Nope I just thought it was wird that no other oulet was reporting in this. Since then they have picked up the story and got confirmation on the story indepentanly. But it was weird that something of this magnitude wasn't picked up by anyone immeadeatly. I also would have believed it if the intercept linked to some sources but they didn't. Probably because there were none that were public ally accessible. It sometimes happens that newsstorys get out that are false so I've made it a rule of mine to not trust story's of significant magnitude when there is only one source.

If you search for it, its only reported by two outlets. There is not a single German newspaper reporting this, including left wing or Berlin regional ones. Searching for the names in the articles returns no results linked to Berlin or Free Palestine at all. The name of the public official also turns up nothing.
Could be misinformation.
The Tagesspiegel as well. One of the German papers of middle size. They also asked sources independently.

Hi, a bunch of other newspapers have now reported this. They have independently verified it, including with the courts. Ex: https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/nach-beteiligung-an-palastina-protesten-in-berlin-drei-eu-burgern-und-einem-studenten-aus-den-usa-droht-ausweisung-13468543.html
Laut der Gerichtssprecherin hat das LEA den drei EU-Bürgern attestiert, sie seien eine „gegenwärtige Gefahr für die öffentliche Sicherheit und Ordnung“. Gestützt werde dies auf mehrere Strafverfahren mit Bezug zum Nahostkonflikt.
Dabei gehe es um Widerstand gegen Vollzugsbeamte nach Auflösung von Demonstrationen, Beleidigung, besonders schwerer Landfriedensbruch und die Verwendung von Kennzeichen terroristischer Organisationen, darunter auch der Spruch „From the River to the Sea“. Alle Personen seien, so der Vorwurf der Ausländerbehörde, Mitglieder einer gewaltbereiten Gruppe der propalästinensischen Szene, sagte die Gerichtssprecherin.
