Saudi Arabia’s Massive Immigration Crackdown | Dubai News

Saudi Arabia just pulled off a massive security sweep, deporting over 12,000 people and detaining nearly 14,800 in one week for violating residency, labor, or border rules. Authorities nabbed more than 1,200 attempted illegal entrants — mostly from Ethiopia and Yemen — plus dozens trying to exit without proper documents. The crackdown also targeted those aiding violators, with penalties including up to 15 years in prison, fines of up to $1 million, and seizure of assets. With coordinated enforcement and public reporting hotlines, Saudi officials are sending a firm message: immigration and labor laws won’t be ignored.
