The proposals announced by the interior minister, Thomas de Maizière, call for:

  • hiring more federal police officers;
  • making it a crime to express sympathy for terrorism;
  • greater sharing of intelligence data across Europe;
  • closer watching of the “dark web,” the part of the internet that is invisible to ordinary users;
  • stripping dual citizens of their German citizenship if they fight for extremist groups; and
  • making it easier to deport foreigners deemed to be dangerous.
