Last year, nearly 4700 foreigners in the Czech Republic received deportation orders, yet only 56 were actually forcibly returned. The vast majority of those who left the country following these decisions did so voluntarily. This indicates a significant gap between issuing deportation rulings and their actual enforcement within the Czech Republic. While courts ordered the deportation of pickpockets, the state was unsuccessful in deporting a Lebanese citizen considered a security risk. The discrepancy highlights challenges the Czech Republic faces in implementing its deportation policies, despite a high number of orders being issued. Authorities are struggling to effectively carry out these deportations, relying heavily on voluntary compliance from individuals facing expulsion. This raises questions about the efficacy of the current system and its ability to address perceived security threats and criminal activity.
