*To Italy.

The family is trying to prevent her deportation with the help of their lawyer Elke Gabsa, despite the difficult legal footing. "If someone is recognized as a refugee in one country, it is fundamentally impossible to request protection in another [EU] member state," Gabsa told DW.

She was granted refugee status in Italy and Traveled to Germany. The article does not specify, but I'm assuming the issue is that she has no legal status in Germany, only Italy.

Italy's economy is, from what I've heard, garbage compared to Germany's, so she probably traveled to Germany for the economic opportunities without any kind of legal authorization to do so.

Not saying she should be deported, but the headline is, I think, intentionally vague to make it seem like she's being deported back to Afghanistan. I consider it to be dishonest, personally

What's extra unfortunate about this is that in a slightly different set of circumstances (if she had been able to stay in Italy this whole time) she'd now be near the time where she'd qualify for permanent residence

Which would have allowed her the ability to live and work in another EU country legally (such as Germany)

I'm not here to second guess her choices, it's just sad to see that she's being deported from a place that she should have been close to obtaining legitimate status in. But I believe that there's a silver lining - correct me if I'm wrong but I believe she's still able to use this pathway.

In other words, she'll be back.
