France’s administrative court on Tuesday overturned a deportation order for an Algerian woman who grew up in the north of the country, citing her “desire to integrate into French society”.
A court statement said it had revoked a deportation order to Algeria against the woman, who is of Algerian origin who grew up in the north of the country before leaving with her family for Syria when she was a minor, out of her desire to integrate into France’s social and professional communities.
The 25-year-old’s family includes 23 members who joined ISIS, but no formal charges have been brought against her, the Lille Administrative Court said in its May 3 ruling.
The French newspaper “Le Monde” in this context, “The girl lived with a terrorist organization for years, and although she did not condemn it explicitly, she distanced herself from her on several occasions, and expressed her hostility towards her original environment and towards this period of her life.”
Marie Dozy, the young woman’s lawyer, said: “A lot of time was wasted in this case for no reason,” noting that “this action added unnecessary suffering.”
The young woman left for Syria with her mother in 2014 when she was 15 years old, and returned to France in January 2023 with her two young daughters who gave birth to them in Syria, after five years in areas controlled by ISIS and four years in camps in northern Syria.
After her mother refused to apply for French citizenship when she was a teenager, she is now an Algerian citizen in an irregular situation.
The administrative court rejected her application for a residence permit but ordered the governorate to reconsider her status within two months.
