PSP speaks for the first time about "immigrant hunt" accusations

The person responsible for the National Unit for Foreigners and Borders (UNEF) of the PSP spoke for the first time about the "immigrant hunt" accusations that have arisen around police operations on the streets of Lisbon. In public statements, the official categorically denied that there is "a hunt" for illegal immigrants by the PSP. The intervention comes following reports and criticism that have been made on social media and by human rights organizations, which point to an intensification of inspection operations targeted at immigrant people. The UNEF official sought to clarify the PSP's position and deny the narrative that has been circulating about an alleged systematic persecution of immigrants.
