webfact Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Almost 500 arrested in nationwide immigration crackdown By Kittipong Maneerit The Nation More than 400 foreigners and 79 Thais, allegedly involved in immigration offences, were arrested on Thursday after raids across Thailand. Immigration Police Bureau deputy chief Pol Maj-General Itthipol Itthisarnronnachai told a press conference in Bangkok on Friday that Thai authorities carried out simultaneous searches at 227 locations. Of the 417 foreigners who were arrested - mostly from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia - 248 were charged with "illegal entry to Thailand", while 16 others from Cambodia, Laos and India were charged with "overstaying visa". Another 153 were charged with violating the Royal Decree on the Management of Migrant Employment or other related immigration related charges. Some 79 Thais, who allegedly harbored the undocumented foreigners or failed to notify authorities about the foreigners staying on their premises within 24 hours, were also arrested, he said. This was the 45th immigration crackdown, bringing the total number of locations searched to more than 6,000 nationwide, where a total of 7,910 offenders were arrested. Meanwhile, immigration police and related officials arrested four Chinese men on Thursday who allegedly worked at an oilfield service company in tambon Bo Rang of Phetchabun's Wichien Buri district without work permits. The four Chinese nationals were identified as Jiang Yongbao, 45, Wang Kupeng, 35, Gao Liming, 30, and Gao Zhidong, 36.

DrTuner Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I wonder how many of these were already in the previous arrests and will bounce back to be arrested again as soon as they've crossed the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

car720 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 13 hours ago, Father Fintan Stack said: Yeh, but we have to remember it's still impressive numbers considering they have to jump on a plane or boat to get here, unlike the Cambos or Burmese. As the article states there were another 153 arrested whos' nationality was not specified. I'd be willing to put money on a few of them being Indian as well. There's a fair spread of nationalities rounded up, so don't feel your lot are being singled out unfairly. Maybe he tried to blow his own whistle but just couldn't reach.

quandow Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Isn't this a rerun? Wasn't that exact same picture used, the exact number of arrests 500, and I thought Big Joke said he already got them all?

poohy Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Silly me thought Big J the "overstay slayer and infidel evictor" had said he had already caught all the overstayers Surely this is mistake as otherwise it would infer the most honest , honourable man in Thailand, apart from "Prayuth the even more honourable and brave," is a lying toad!

NoshowJones Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Why is it they always seem to go after the illegals from neighbouring countries? What about those from the African countries. and even some Westerners. Although they may get some Africans and Westerners occasionally, they seem to concentrate mainly on the Burmese and Cambodians.
