Herbert Reul Reu​l security policy moves in NRW

In early July 2026, North Rhine‑Westphalia interior minister Herbert Reul advocated adopting police data police‑data software that is not sourced from the United States, highlighting citing concerns over reliance on foreign technology for law‑enforcement tools. A few weeks later, following after the Islamist‑motivated attack on Berlin’s Christopher Street Day parade, Reul called for stricter measures against individuals classified as "Gefährder" “Gefährder” (dangerous offenders). He urged faster legal procedures, the possibility of deporting non‑citizen offenders, and highlighted noted that NRW records list dozens of such individuals lacking German passports. The minister emphasized stressed the need for stronger consequences and expedited action to prevent future attacks. On 31 July 2026, Reul reiterated that releasing dangerous suspects is unacceptable. He warned that once charges are filed, authorities cannot afford to set such individuals free, and again highlighted the option of deportation for those deemed too risky. He pointed to 48 dangerous individuals in NRW without German citizenship—many holding dual nationality—and questioned their willingness to accept German constitutional principles, criticizing the lack of concrete consequences after previous attacks.
