this week i'm hearing stories. of germany and the letter of. somalia and the long way home. but 1st to the usa where many migrant families live in fear of being caught and separated by deportation raids. at a family near washington d.c. but a sought sanctuary in a church. like most parents who has a good yet is lopez couldn't imagine being forced to look at children but as an undocumented immigrant her greatest fear is a realistic one rosa fled violence in el salvador 13 years ago now she's facing deportation her 3 children were born here in the u.s. our youngest son john has down's syndrome and she's worried he wouldn't receive the same care in el salvador and so over the past 8 months she's been seeking sanctuary

here at cedar lane unitarian universalist church in washington d.c. living apart from her children during the week so they can still attend their school. when it got really under the hood it was hard telling my kids that i had to seek refuge in a church i couldn't go back to my country and leave them here and i also couldn't take them because i would be putting them in danger they could be killed criminal gangs there recruit children from the age of 10. and if they refuse. they kill. their will to look at and. roses deportation was ordered off to she missed an early immigration hearing when i say jones tracked her down they free to talk with a monitoring bracelet and ordered her to leave the country. it was hard for me. that quoted a wedding they want to deport me because i missed a court session but that doesn't make us criminals not quite so it. is another one

that the man with. reverend abby jerram and she hopes that ice agents will avoid entering places of worship the church is now one of 50 religious communities offering sanctuary. the church has also started an information campaign preparing undocumented immigrants for deportation raids and how to avoid arrest namely by refusing to open the door. let us once again that the community is not backing down or holding vigils so that rosa know they will protect her even if the trumpet administration is taking a different stones. germany is tightening its deportation laws those clean political persecution are still granted protection but when asylum requests are turned down people are being forced out of the country more quickly and with more extreme measures that used to be the

case. at munich's airport a dozen nigerian nationals are taken to a chartered plane for deportation. 5 people on the passenger list are missing they may have gone into hiding 12 migrants board the aircraft accompanied by 3 times as many police officers. officer christiane kugel maya has been on many such deportation flights he says repatriation amounts to a personal crisis for migrants many are desperate some even injure themselves at the last minute to try and avoid deportation as i remember the moments in the bay are always on my worry about it i wonder how things are going to work out for them are these but then i figure if we're sitting in the plane with them that a proper legal process is being carried out you know my voice or. somebody whose from senegal could be deported next he has lived in and around munich for 5 years.

his asylum application was turned down he knows the rules for deportation are getting stricter and a lengthy detention is possible. is a feel for all of us let's not leave because we are not safe the other says. what to do what we think. we have been done i think if someone don't know what is problem we don't fight so i think is good also to point you to those people. some get support from an engine you know in munich a refugee council that helps him when he deals with officials and needs legal advice the refugee council is critical of the new deportation that you lay chanst. this is no longer a matter of an individual's fate but the families are split up all whether a person is sick this is a matter of carrying out to potations for the sake of raising the statistics or to stick to that. authority to see things differently those in detention at this

temporary facility at munich airport are legally required to be deported. every case has been reviewed by a judge. it's not only criminals who are detained in the worst cases people who have committed minor violations such as signing a document too late could also be deported. that sometimes makes officers like google myer think twice even if they trust the system google meyer thinks abuse of officials who accompany deportees such as speeding and biting is on the rise and with the same deportees inflicting injury on themselves is stressful. the migrants from nigeria have long since landed back home for the time being they may not return to germany their dream is over.
