The Government deployed a new immigration control against criminals in Retiro

The National Government deployed a new immigration control operation in the Retiro neighborhood, in the City of Buenos Aires, with the aim of identifying foreigners in irregular situations or linked to criminal cases, as part of the security and order policy promoted by the administration of Javier Milei.

The procedure was reported by the National Ministry of Security, which published images of the deployment carried out alongside the National Directorate of Migrations and the Argentine Federal Police. According to the ministry, the operation is part of a broader strategy to control the legal stay of foreigners in the country and advance with the corresponding expulsions in cases provided for by law.

“Foreigners who commit crimes or remain in the country illegally, we expel them and they cannot re-enter Argentina,” stated the National Ministry of Security. They also reminded that those who know of cases of people in that situation can make anonymous and secure reports through the line 134.

The new control in Retiro adds to other similar operations carried out in recent months in different areas of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. In February, the Government had deployed a mega-operation in Liniers, where more than 150 members of the Argentine Federal Police worked alongside Migration personnel to verify documentation in businesses, fairs, and high-traffic areas.
