In a year and a half, from August 2016 until February 2018, the National Superintendence of Migration (Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones) has given its approval to 1,800 expulsion orders for violating immigration legislation and, in most cases, compulsory departure with the impediment of re-entry has been determined, wrote La República.

“Colonel Roger Pérez Figueroa, head of the Immigration Division, said that the agents of that unit carried out 1,238 operations last year in which 8,745 foreigners were intervened”, according to La República.

Among some of the registered violations of the Migration Law, there are 71 cases of people who were practicing clandestine prostitution. Also, 76 people carried out unauthorized activities, and 615 entered the country clandestinely.

Also, the stay was canceled for 178 people; while 466 had problems of overdue residence or general residence issues; 11 failed to comply with public health standards; 87 were expelled by court order; 14 committed an attack on public order; 51 falsified information; and 78 were intervened to obtain freedom after serving their sentence, according to information from La República.

Pérez pointed out that of that total, 401 were expelled, 418 had compulsory exit and 89 exit authorization. “In addition, another 30 foreigners were expelled for committing a crime at the Jorge Chávez airport.”, explained this media.

The offenders have nationalities from 57 different countries, although the most significant numbers of those expelled come from Colombia (208), Spain (63), Cuba (61), Ecuador (53), United States (42) and Venezuela (17).
