The National Government deployed a new immigration control operation in the Chinatown, located in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires, as part of the policy aimed at detecting and expelling foreigners who remain illegally in Argentina or have committed crimes.
The procedure was carried out jointly by the National Directorate of Migrations and the Argentine Federal Police (PFA), who deployed agents in galleries and businesses in one of the busiest commercial areas of the City of Buenos Aires.
The Ministry of National Security released images of the operation and reaffirmed the stance taken by the Government of Javier Milei against those who violate immigration regulations or commit crimes while in Argentine territory.
“The rules are clear: any foreigner who commits a crime or remains in the country illegally is expelled and cannot re-enter Argentina”, the Security portfolio officially stated.
Additionally, the Ministry reminded citizens that they can anonymously and safely report to line 134 any cases they are aware of involving a foreigner in an irregular immigration situation or who has committed a crime.
