Some of the Afghan nationals deported from Germany to Kabul on Friday have already said they plan to return, according to media reports. The flight, from the city of Leipzig, carried 81 Afghan men, all either convicted criminals or considered security threats.
Upon arrival in Kabul, several deportees told Afghan journalists they would soon try to return to Germany, underscoring the difficulty Berlin faces in enforcing long-term expulsions.
Zafar thought he had done the hard bit. He had travelled from Afghanistan across mainland Europe to France, then survived a perilous Channel crossing on a small boat. But it was the final leg to Ireland that proved his undoing and ended with him in the back of a prison van.
Irish police officers believe that after applying for refugee status in the UK he was on his way to do so again in Dublin, a move that could enable him to claim a further set of more generous benefits.
Yet thanks to a police operation at the Irish border, Zafar did not reach the International Protection Office (IPO) in Dublin to lodge his application.
An Albanian convicted burglar who cannot be deported taunted the Home Office with a personalised number plate on his £80,000 Mercedes.
Dorian Puka, 28, who has been jailed and deported twice from the UK for burglaries, filmed himself peeling the cover off his new registration plate: DO24 AMG, reflecting his name and high-end marque of the Mercedes.
He then posted a video of himself on Tik Tok driving through London onto the M25 towards the intersection with the M40 to Oxford.

Spain has overtaken Germany as the main destination for asylum seekers in the European Union, following the sudden collapse of Syria’s Assad regime and a steep decline in Syrian migration to Europe, according to an unpublished report by the EU Agency for Asylum (EUAA).
The report, seen by the Financial Times, says the agency recorded 64,000 asylum applications across the EU in May 2025—a 24% decrease compared to the same month last year. The sharpest fall came from Syrians, whose claims plummeted from around 16,000 in October 2024 to just 3,100 in May. For the first time in over a decade, Germany no longer tops the list, with its monthly claims halving to 9,900. Spain now leads with 12,800 applications, fuelled in part by rising numbers from Venezuela amid that country’s economic collapse.
The Washington Post has a heartrending headline that I’ve seen repeated endlessly by my aged, leftist high-school classmates: “Here legally since 1999, thousands of immigrants have 60 days to leave.” How dare the cruel Trump administration suddenly turn more than 50,000 people into criminals?
Fears of a surge in refugee claimants and illegal border crossings following the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump have not materialized, according to new federal data showing a sharp decline in attempted entries into Canada.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the Canada Border Services Agency reported 12,185 refugee claimants between January and April, down 50% from 24,445 in the same period last year.
When immigration agents came to the farm where he worked, Jaime Alanis tried to hide.
Climbing to the roof of a greenhouse, while agents rounded up and arrested dozens of his coworkers below, Mr Alanis hoped to stay out of sight.
Then he fell.
His neck was broken and skull fractured. He died later in hospital.
Meanwhile, immigration agents fired teargas at a crowd of some 500 protestors, who had gathered to stop the raids outside two legal cannabis farms. Some threw rocks, and the FBI says one fired a gun at federal agents.
If illegal aliens are central to your “Way of Life” then you need to fix that.
It is a hallmark of the governing adults-in-the-room regimes in most Western democracies to profess wisdom and insight that ordinary people lack. This is, after all, the basis for any claim they have to possess authority. Yet the grim truth of the matter is that these people are, in the main, profoundly callow and naïve. Having only ever for the most part mixed with people who are nice, they think niceness is universal and innate.
Nowhere is this foolish belief more obvious than in respect of policies towards immigration, which are designed and effected in a manner that at times seems almost wilfully purblind to the possibility of nastiness. To refer back to our old friend Milan Kundera, the worldview of those who govern us is above all predicated on the ‘denial of shit’. And when it comes to immigration they deny it by the bucketload.
In less than two weeks this month, a Quebec border crossing saw more than 1,500 asylum applicants coming from the United States, an unusual surge considering overall asylum claims are down by 50 per cent across Canada.
St-Bernard-de-Lacolle, a crossing located on Quebec’s Highway 15, south of Montreal, saw 1,505 asylum applicants between Canada Day and July 13. In June, 1,593 applied for asylum in Canada over the course of the whole month.
When the history of the next election comes to be written, we may end up asking: was the turning point for its outcome the moment that Keir Starmer’s government backtracked on its welfare reforms in the face of a backbench revolt? The fiasco, which eliminated the government’s hopes of saving £5 billion a year, has made any welfare reform during the current Parliament impossible.
The cost of that is becoming more evident by the day. Figures revealed this morning show that there are currently 3.6 million people receiving Universal Credit who are under no obligation whatsoever to look for work. They have been effectively written off as unemployable and will be in receipt of benefits for the remainder of their working-age lives. That is nearly half the total of 7.9 million people on Universal Credit.

Nothing from Canada …
Alligator Alcatraz, the new immigration detention center that opened in the Florida Everglades, had the left-wing media twisting the purpose of the facility. On Monday, CNN News Central featured Correspondent Rafael Romo, who made the false claim that “hundreds of immigrants with no criminal charges in the United States are being held at Alligator Alcatraz.” What Romo was trying to mischaracterize to the CNN audience was the fact they had criminal charges filed in other countries.
Too late
If you’re here illegally, ICE is coming for you. The best way to avoid Alligator Alcatraz is to self deport.https://t.co/aT3H3COvWN pic.twitter.com/uZOC5iW1VK

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced Tuesday the detention of five Iranian nationals attempting to cross illegally from Canada into New York.
The incident has intensified concerns about potential security risks linked to Iranian nationals entering the U.S.

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-FL (I can’t help but remember how Rush Limbaugh used to call her “Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz”), has been railing about the “inhumane” conditions at “Alligator Alcatraz”: e.g., the detainees have to use jailhouse toilets which combine sink and toilet in one stainless steel unit, and there are “insects everywhere.”
A California professor was arrested for allegedly chucking a tear gas canister at ICE agents during a raid on a marijuana farm being investigated for child labor violations.
Jonathan Anthony Caravello — a math and philosophy professor at California State University Channel Islands — was arrested by federal agents conducting a raid at Glass House Farms in Ventura County on Thursday, ABC 7 reported.
