Wong Kar Wai district police, together with relevant authorities, launched an operation codenamed "CHAMPION" against illegal immigrants and foreign workers on Saturday (11th). Based on intelligence and detailed investigations, police conducted surprise inspections at multiple locations in the district. During the operation, 14 mainland Chinese women and 4 foreign women, aged between 19 and 48, were arrested for "violating entry conditions." All those detained are currently under investigation, with some to be handed over to relevant departments for further processing.
Preliminary reports indicate that the operation was well-coordinated, demonstrating the effectiveness of collaborative efforts among different departments in combating illegal immigration and illegal labor. The wide age range of the arrested individuals suggests that law enforcement is targeting various demographics within the illegal labor market, reflecting the dynamic challenges in managing migration and labor policies in the region.
As part of ongoing efforts, police advise the public to stay vigilant and comply with local immigration and labor laws. Authorities are reminding employers to verify the legal status of their employees and to report any suspected illegal labor activities promptly. This incident highlights the ongoing scrutiny and intervention in this critical area of public law enforcement and social management.
