Overview
- The Casa Rosada resumed and accelerated drafting of the implementing decree on Saturday to make DNU 681/2026 operational for entry controls, residency cancellations and expulsions.
- DNU 681/2026, signed in July, already adds ‘‘messages of hate,’’ incitement to violence on nationality grounds and insults to national symbols as formal grounds to deny entry or cancel residency and allows cancellation to lead to an order to leave or expulsion.
- Government planners say the new regulation will not create new powers but must set who triggers and validates migratory alerts, what evidence is required and how Migraciones and security forces will carry out procedures.
- The decree expressly excludes protected political, academic and citizen dissent, and officials say precise thresholds will be needed to limit misuse and to reduce the risk of predictable court challenges.
- The effort fits a wider hardening of migration policy since 2025 that moved Migraciones under the Security ministry, created a Program of Security Migratoria and the CAIMF, and expanded joint operations and data‑driven alerts that will underpin enforcement.
