The administration of former United States President Donald Trump has intensified immigration enforcement at major airports, with a renewed focus on foreign nationals travelling with expired visas.
Reports indicate that individuals with lapsed documentation are increasingly being flagged during routine checks, with some facing detention or deportation proceedings. The move is part of broader efforts to strengthen border security and ensure compliance with immigration laws.
Officials say the policy aims to close loopholes that allow individuals to overstay their visas while continuing to travel within or through the country. Enhanced screening measures have been deployed at key international airports, with immigration officers conducting more rigorous document verification.

The development has sparked concern among travellers and advocacy groups, who argue that the stricter enforcement could lead to wrongful detentions and disrupt legitimate travel plans. Some stakeholders have called for clearer communication on the rules to prevent confusion.
Authorities, however, maintain that the measures are necessary to uphold national security and immigration integrity. They advise travellers to ensure their documents are valid before embarking on international trips.
