The Federal Police launched an operation in São Paulo with the aim of dismantling a criminal organization involved in human trafficking at Guarulhos International Airport. This action is part of an ongoing effort to combat the grooming of immigrants, especially Afghans, who are lured by false promises of a better life in the United States. The operation takes place in a context of humanitarian crisis, where many immigrants are stranded at the airport, facing vulnerabilities such as lack of knowledge of the language and the constant fear of deportation.
The Ministry of Justice has played a crucial role in tackling this problem, which not only affects Afghans, but also people of different nationalities who arrive in Brazil in search of a new life. The Minister of Justice, Ricardo Lewandowski, highlighted the importance of protecting and assisting these immigrants, preventing criminal actions that could worsen their already precarious situation. The Federal Police operation aims not only to repress criminal activities, but also to hold those involved in human trafficking accountable, ensuring that they are brought to justice.
PF no Natal
On Christmas Eve, the Federal Police headquarters in Lapa, São Paulo, maintained normal service, especially in the migration and passport issuance sector, due to high demand. This effort is part of a broader strategy to ensure essential services remain available to those who need them most, even during the holidays. However, the service will be interrupted the following day, returning only next Thursday (26).
