Estonian authorities transferred eight Somali men who entered the country illegally to Latvian border guards on Monday. The handover occurred at the Ikla checkpoint, marking a continuation of cross-border cooperation on migration issues. These individuals had previously arrived in Estonia through unauthorized means. The transfer aligns with agreements between Estonia and Latvia regarding the handling of illegal migrants. This action aims to address migration challenges collaboratively and manage border security effectively. The men will now be processed by Latvian authorities, who will determine their further status and potential repatriation. This incident highlights the ongoing flow of irregular migration in the region.
