"The government of Javier Milei announced on Tuesday the creation of a National Migration Agency that will report to the Ministry of Security, not the Ministry of the Interior, as is currently the case. The new department will coordinate the work of all security forces, such as the Federal Police, the Airport Police, and the Gendarmerie, in combating transnational crime."
"The ultimate goal is the creation of an immigration police force modeled after the U.S. Border Patrol, which is now a key component of the border control model promoted by President Donald Trump. The official launch of the new agency was Patricia Bullrich's last official act before leaving her post as Minister of Security to take a seat in the Senate. Bullrich, a proponent of a hardline approach to crime, will be replaced by her deputy, Alejandra Monteoliva, thus ensuring the continuity of her policies."
Border immigration controls will be moved from the Ministry of the Interior to the Ministry of Security, and a National Migration Agency will report to Security. The agency will coordinate Federal Police, Airport Police and Gendarmerie operations to combat transnational crime. The government aims to create an immigration police force modeled on the U.S. Border Patrol. Patricia Bullrich officially launched the agency as her final act before leaving the security ministry; her deputy Alejandra Monteoliva will replace her, maintaining policy continuity. President Javier Milei favors replicating U.S. security institutions, has proposed an Argentine FBI and sought reforms allowing police arrests or espionage without judicial authorization.
