Saudi Arabia recently concluded a week-long operation resulting in the deportation of 13,724 individuals residing in the country illegally. The crackdown reflects the kingdom’s ongoing efforts to enforce residency and labor laws. Authorities did not specify the nationalities of those deported, but the operation signals a firm stance against undocumented foreign workers. This mass deportation comes amidst broader Saudi efforts to regulate its labor market and reduce strain on public services. The move aligns with the country's Vision 2030 plan to nationalize jobs and tighten immigration controls. Further enforcement actions are anticipated as the government continues to address the issue of illegal residency. This represents one of the largest single-week deportation figures reported in recent years.
