Confidentiality Obligations for Deportations
Information about the specific procedure of a deportation is subject to confidentiality. This applies in particular to the timing and the exact procedures.
The same applies to information about orders under Section 82(4) sentence 1.
A violation of this confidentiality obligation is punishable under Section 353b of the Criminal Code.

Gleiches gilt für Informationen zum konkreten Ablauf, insbesondere zum Zeitpunkt von Anordnungen nach § 82 Absatz 4 Satz 1.
