The government has announced the deportation of 1,500 foreign prisoners serving sentences of at least five years to reduce overcrowding in the country’s rehabilitation centers and public spending, while easing violence.

About 1,500 foreign prisoners will be expelled from the country, President Daniel Noboa announced

However, according to the statements of President Daniel Noboa, this decision or the execution dates do not depend only on Ecuador.

In February, prisons with maximum and super maximum security would begin to be built in isolated areas, according to the Government

It is clear from his expressions that he will use the figure of deportation. The Foreign Ministry has already established contacts with Peru, Colombia and Venezuela, where at least 80 percent of the 1,500 foreign prisoners who have committed serious crimes come from, he predicted.

These are the legal figures that President Daniel Noboa can apply to deport foreign prisoners

Historical data show that deportation began to be applied in the country in 1837. years. At that time, it was applied to persons who had committed serious crimes, especially political ones.

Daniel Noboa confirms that the arrests in the Metastasis case are part of his Phoenix plan

Today, Ecuador ranks eleventh on the list of the most dangerous countries in the world, according to the Global Organized Crime Index 2023. Violence has brought it to that painful place and the Government has been committed to fighting it from the beginning.

Daniel Noboa’s popular consultation would take place between the last week of February and the first week of March

The expulsion measure may encounter obstacles in the countries of origin of persons deprived of their liberty, but diplomatic work will be key in this initiative, which must also contribute to stopping the observed outbreaks of xenophobia. The march in Pelile (Tungurahua), on December 5, when they dragged puppets and demanded that all foreigners leave, was evident.

Daniel Noboa: Don’t forget the week in which delinquency, organized crime and entrenched corruption in the judicial branch were attacked

Ecuadorians have also emigrated and know what that means. The recent demonstrations are an example of the anxiety caused by violence, and that is what must be attacked. It is therefore important that the regime implements its plan against those who pose a threat to peaceful coexistence.

Rapprochement with local governments is good, the issue of prisons, but we must also implement constant and effective border control so that bad people do not filter out. (OR)
