Russian police are set to gain expanded surveillance powers over migrants facing deportation, reports Orda, citing TASS.
The new law, taking effect March 5, grants law enforcement significant oversight capabilities.
Under the legislation, police officers can enter migrants' residences without prior authorization and access comprehensive financial records - including bank accounts, transaction histories, and other financial activities.
They can also request sensitive information from Russian and foreign government agencies, including data normally protected by commercial, banking, or tax secrecy laws.
The law also permits extensive technological surveillance of migrants, allowing police to monitor mobile phone data, track locations, review payment system records, and employ facial recognition technology.
These measures target foreigners in Russia illegally or have violated Russian laws and may extend to individuals or organizations assisting such migrants.
The legislation coincides with another new regulation effective January 1, 2025, which limits foreigners' stays in Russia to a maximum of 90 days per calendar year.
