Overview
- A large Migraciones operation backed by the Policía Federal moved through Rosario's microcentro on Tuesday, deploying about 60 agents who inspected shops and galleries and screened roughly 420 people.
- Authorities reported eight foreigners found in irregular status from the microcentro checks and the detention of a Chinese man with an existing expulsion order.
- Follow‑up vehicle and passenger checks at the General Lagos toll on the Rosario–Buenos Aires highway led to the detention of a 19‑year‑old Bolivian woman scheduled for deportation and other travelers unable to prove legal stay.
- The national Security Ministry framed the actions as enforcement of migration rules and has encouraged anonymous reporting via hotline 134 while government documents cite a new program to increase Migraciones' operational capacity.
- Migration lawyers say a 2025 decree changed procedures that once prioritized regularization and now make administrative expulsions easier, which legal defenders warn will increase fear among migrants and strain access to counsel.
