Putin Orders Expulsion of Illegal Immigrants by April 30, 2025; Over 80,000 Expelled in 2024, Nearly Double from 2023
Jan 8, 2025, 11:14 AM
In a recent directive, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the expulsion of all illegal immigrants from Russia, giving them until April 30, 2025, to regularize their status or leave the country. This move is part of a broader crackdown on migration, which has seen Russia expel over 80,000 foreign migrants in 2024, nearly double the number from the previous year. The increase in expulsions follows a tightening of immigration policies in response to security concerns, particularly after the Crocus City Hall terror attack near Moscow in 2023. Reports indicate that the majority of these expulsions are due to violations of Russian immigration laws.
