PSP alerted for an increase in secondary movements of illegal immigrants arriving in Portugal, specifically to Porto and Lisbon, by train and bus. According to the police, the situation is not "exactly new," but it has been intensifying.
According to PSP's perception and data analysis, these secondary migratory flows to Portugal have increased significantly. The immigrants arrive mainly through land transport, using trains and buses as a means of entry into the country.
The alert was issued by Chief Superintendent João Ribeiro, responsible for the National Unit for Foreigners and Borders (UNEF), who confirmed the growing trend of these movements. UNEF is the PSP unit responsible for controlling foreigners and border enforcement.
