Milei orders expulsion of migrants who 'attack' Argentines with hate comments
Argentine President Javier Milei signed a decree barring entry or residence for foreigners who make hateful statements against Argentines, amid what officials described as an 'anti-Argentina campaign' following the World Cup. The move signals a tougher line on immigration enforcement.
Argentine President Javier Milei's government issued a new decree blocking entry or residence for foreigners found to have made hateful statements against Argentines. Officials framed the move as a response to what they called an 'anti-Argentina campaign' that emerged after the World Cup.
The decree adds an enforcement layer to existing immigration rules, giving authorities grounds to act at border crossings or on residency applications over discriminatory or hostile speech. Critics note the measure lacks clear criteria for how such statements will be defined or assessed in practice.
The move extends the Milei administration's broader hardline stance on border and immigration policy. How the decree will be applied, and whether it draws legal challenges, should become clearer in the coming weeks.
