A recent press release from Malta’s Police Force provided updates on its continuing efforts to address the issue of irregular immigration in the country.

These people have been taken to detention centers and are subsequently be deported from the country.

The police, supported by the Detention Services, have been carrying out inspections and searches across various localities. The recent actions took place on a Sunday morning in multiple streets and residences in Ħamrun and Santa Venera.

Those found in the country illegally are initially taken to detention centers. From there, a legal process is initiated that could ultimately lead to their deportation from Malta.

The police have announced that their investigations and operations will continue, potentially in collaboration with other agencies. These operations are not limited to specific localities and will be conducted on a weekly basis.
