  • Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees reported that only 35% of the migrants who arrived in Germany since 2015 have found work.
  • Two Germans, both 16 years of age, were killed by an oncoming train after being pushed onto railway tracks by youths of Greek and Turkish origin. German media not only downplayed the immigration background of the suspects by describing them as indigenous Germans; they also reported that the teenagers "fell onto the tracks."
  • "Regional or national terms such as 'German Islam,' 'French Islam,' 'Belgian Islam' or 'European Islam' contradict the universality of Islam, which enlightens all eras and places at once." — From the final statement of the "Second Meeting of European Muslims," held at the Cologne Central Mosque.
A 25-year-old Afghan migrant was acquitted of raping a 50-year-old disabled woman in Nuremberg, Germany. The woman, a refugee caretaker, said she could not defend herself because she suffers from muscle spasticity on one side of her body. The Afghan's defense attorneys demanded an acquittal because, according to him, the sex was consensual. The Nuremberg-Fürth district court sided with the defendant, who was released and is now free.

January 1. Four teenage migrants — three Afghans and one Iranian — assaulted more than a dozen passersby in Amberg. Twelve people between the ages of 13 and 42 were injured in the attacks; a 17-year-old was hospitalized for a head injury. Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said the four perpetrators cannot be deported for legal reasons:
"Anyone who indiscriminately beats uninvolved passersby shows that he is not seeking protection in our society. The drunken perpetrators can expect no understanding in our country, but only the full hardness of the rule of law. Currently, deportation is not legally possible in any case. We are working hard to change that."
