A migrant worker was arrested for obstructing immigration officers and kicking a Maldives Immigration vehicle during a joint raid by Maldives Immigration and the Maldives Police Service targeting undocumented workers. Controller General of Immigration Mohamed Shamaan Waheed said the worker is in custody and will be deported, while over 100 workers were taken into custody in raids over the past week.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
As soon as possible, as per immigration laws, we will take the strictest action and deport [the migrant worker]
Operation to identify undocumented migrant workers will continue without delay and yielding to external pressure.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
Over 100 workers were taken into custody during raids in the past week alone.
