April 24 , 2026 14 hrs 0 min 15 0

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) introduced a new deportation policy to speed up the identification and removal of illegal migrants.
It mandates district-level task forces and a 90-day timeline for verification of suspected foreign nationals.
Holding centres with basic facilities will be set up, ensuring families are not separated.
Illegal documents will be cancelled, and migrants will be blacklisted by the Bureau of Immigration.
The policy is backed by the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, which strengthens enforcement and monitoring.
