Argentina to Present Migratory Police Under Security Ministry Today

The move centralizes border and airport control under the Security Ministry with a U.S. Homeland Security–style design.

Overview

  • Patricia Bullrich and Alejandra Monteoliva are slated to unveil the new Agencia Nacional de Migraciones at 14:45, detailing its integration into Security.
  • The new force is set to assume border and airport controls now performed by Gendarmería Nacional and the Airport Security Police.
  • Staffing will come from reassigned personnel across federal forces who will receive targeted training rather than through mass hiring.
  • The plan builds on Decree 366/2025 that repositioned Migraciones and defined an auxiliary migratory policing role, while 2026 budget allocation remains pending.
  • The initiative fits into a broader overhaul featuring a federal investigations department and a refocus of the PFA on complex federal crime, with congressional action anticipated.
