Latvia strengthens penalties for illegal migration
Latvia's Saeima has adopted urgent amendments to the Criminal Law to increase criminal liability for organizing illegal migration and related offenses.
Background
Latvia, bordering Russia and Belarus, has experienced increased pressure from irregular migration, particularly since 2021. The government views this as a national security concern, often attributing it to hybrid warfare tactics by neighboring states. This has led to a series of legislative actions aimed at tightening border control and immigration policies.
