More than one hundred eighty-seven thousand migrants seeking asylum reside in Germany as of current records.
Title: Deportation Delays: Germany's Awaiting Asylum Seekers Reach Nearly 187K, New Survey Reveals
Kickin' It Berlin (dts Nachrichtenagentur) - It's a staggering figure, folks! As reported by Bild in their Thursday edition, a whopping 187,000 rejected asylum seekers are still kickin' it in Germany, patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for their ticket out of the country. This eye-popping number stems from an internal survey of all 16 state interior ministries. Yeah, you read that right—nearly 187k individuals are on the fence and can't make up their minds about moving on.
So, who's got the most wayward asylum seekers? Well, North Rhine-Westphalia tops the list with a whopping 74,374 hanging around, while Bavaria holds down the fort with 36,143. How 'bout them apples?
Why the holdup on sending these individuals packin'? German state ministries blame a variety of factors, including paused deportations, ongoing legal battles, humanitarian concerns, and COVID-19-related decisions.
Since the new year rolled around, 7,212 individuals have successfully said their goodbyes and moved on. But let's be real—that's just a drop in the bucket compared to the 187k still loitering in Germany.
One notable omission from the survey results? Baden-Württemberg, Berlin, and Rhineland-Palatinate—they didn't participate in the fun. Apparently, those three states don't keep track of rejected asylum seekers awaiting deportation according to official figures.
Stay tuned for more updates as we keep our eyes on this evolving situation. In the meantime, what do you think? Is Germany biting off more than it can chew, or are they just playing fair and granting due process to those in need? Let us know your thoughts!

Enrichment Data:The latest data shows an increase in deportations in Germany, with 6,151 people being booted out in Q1 2025[1]. As of Dec 31, 2024, the total pending asylum applications stood at 212,656[2].
It's worth noting that larger states such as North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, and Baden-Württemberg tend to see higher numbers of asylum cases due to their population sizes and economic opportunities.
For a more detailed breakdown of the numbers in each state, it's best to consult official data from the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) or state-specific migration authorities.
Other politics surrounding the issue of asylum seekers in Germany reveals a growing concern, as the number of pending deportation cases reaches almost 187,000 according to a recent survey. General-news reports suggest that larger states like North Rhine-Westhelmfa, Bavaria, and Baden-Württemberg, due to their population sizes and economic opportunities, have more asylum cases than other states.
