GNR carries out inspection at factory and detains five immigrants
Like the Public Security Police (PSP), the National Republican Guard (GNR) has intensified the inspection of immigrants in Portugal. According to a GNR statement, an inspection operation at a food production company resulted in nine voluntary departure notices and five arrests. The operation took place in Alcobaça, conducted by the Santarém Territorial Immigration Inspection Unit. The individuals were detained for illegal stay and identity theft, and a court ordered their transfer to a Temporary Installation Centre (CIT). The government is also preparing new legislation to accelerate deportations and strengthen enforcement measures.
