This makes little sense.
I assume they were connecting in Frankfurt to Santorini (possibly with Condor via Mykonos), they had to enter the Schengen area here in Frankfurt.
Whether they had a day layover or not - it does not matter. German immigration officers (Bundespolizei) wont let her in.

This is also weird. German customs officer (Zoll) has virtually no jurisdiction to send people back. Customs officers are there to check baggage, contraband etc.
I’m sure there is just a little confusion over Bundespolizei vs. Zoll. That being said I have been with plenty of deportees on flights out of FRA. I suspect 20 a day may be low, maybe 20 people from North America
