A violent gang rapist hailing from the African country of Eritrea cannot be deported from Germany despite a series of heinous crimes, including gang rape, assaults, threats, property damage, and a whole litany of other crimes. The fact that he and many other serial criminals cannot be deported is highlighting just how far the German government has failed to remove illegal migrants who represent a major threat to Germans.
The 27-year-old Eritrean, Yonas A., was first arrested in 2017 for participating in a gang rape. He and three other friends brutally raped a 56-year-old woman in Dessau. During the attack, the court found that Yonas A. held a broken beer bottle to the woman’s neck and threatened to stab her if she stopped the men from raping her.
Yonas A. should have been deported after serving his six years in the Burg correctional facility, but almost immediately upon his release, he began a reign of terror. Within nine weeks of his release in the summer of 202, he committed ten crimes before finally being locked up again.

A thief stole a young German woman's phone and then tells her, "in a mixture of English and German, that he would only give it to me if I had sex with him."

In another incident of May 2024, a German father, Matthias K., slammed on his brakes after nearly hitting Yonas A. because the Eritrean drove his car through a red light. The Eritrean showed no remorse though and began attacking Matthias K. The police stated that he pulled a hairpin from his hair and threatened to gouge out the man’s eye. He then kicked the door and screamed, “I’ll cut off your head.” Matthias K. recorded the incident on his cell phone.
In the report from Bild, the judge asked the Eritrean why he was conducting himself in such a manner, to which Yonas A. responded: “I was sad about my homeland.”
So far, deportation efforts have failed, with the authorities citing personal rights and data protection as reason for why he cannot be sent back to his homeland.
Notably, Eritrea is among the many countries that make it extremely difficult for European countries to deport anyone. The country refuses to issue replacement passports for people who do not want to return voluntarily, and without these documents, deportations are nearly impossible, legally speaking.
The case has much in common with other extraordinarily criminal migrants, including one Moroccan who has been charged with over 100 crimes in a small German town. As Remix News reported last year, despite numerous efforts to deport him, they have all been unsuccessful.
