Foreign nationals in Amur Region face deportation
Officials cite violation of migration laws
Foreign nationals in Russia's Amur Region face deportation for violating migration laws, regional officials said in a statement, without specifying the number of people affected.
The decision was made during a meeting of the regional commission for preventing illegal migration, the statement said.
Officials said that the foreign nationals had violated migration laws, but did not provide specific details about the violations.
The statement said that the foreign nationals will be deported to their home countries according to established procedures.
It is not immediately clear how many foreign nationals will be affected by the decision.
The Amur Region is located in eastern Russia, bordering China.
It is home to a significant number of foreign nationals, many of whom work in the region's agricultural sector.
In recent years, Russian authorities have stepped up efforts to crack down on illegal migration.
In 2021, the Russian government introduced a new law that increased the penalties for violating migration laws.
The law also made it easier for authorities to deport foreign nationals who violate migration laws.
