The "Handbook Germany" project gives concrete advice to rejected asylum seekers on how to extend their stay there, even by using legal loopholes.

the Brussels Signal news portal, the European Commission has provided nearly 9 million euros for an online project that helps migrants avoid deportation in Germany.

Handbook Germany , a platform funded by the German Ministry of the Interior and the European Commission, provides guidance to rejected asylum seekers on how to prevent their deportation.

For example, the manual draws attention to the fact that parents cannot be deported if their minor child has "disappeared". Also, if there is new evidence of "war trauma" or "persecution" not previously recognized, deportation can be delayed or even cancelled. The book included advice to help migrants evade the law and extend their stay even if their asylum applications have been rejected. One method, for example, was to file a claim against the Federal Office for Migration and Asylum (BAMF).

Readers were directed by a link to “Abschiebungen stoppen. Bleiberecht für alle' (Stop deportations. Right to stay for all) initiative, which opposes deportations for political reasons and demands the right of residence and free movement for all.
