President Javier Milei has claimed that his administration deported 10,000 terrorists in 2025 and an additional 20,000 so far in 2026. Milei alleged 2026, alleging these individuals are foreign infiltrators attempting to ‘dynamite the Argentine model.’ These claims have faced scrutiny from political figures and official records. Deputy Maximiliano Ferraro filed a formal request for information from the Ministry of Security and the National Directorate of Migration to clarify the actual number of expulsions and whether they were linked to terrorism-related causes. Official data from the Ministry of Security contradicts the President’s figures, noting only figures. For 2026, the Ministry reported 744 expulsions and 18,947 entry incidents related to administrative or legal issues, such as visa infractions, during the current year. No official reports have but no cases were categorized these incidents as terrorism. Records for 2025 showed 772 expulsions, primarily linked to drug-related or property crimes. The discrepancy has prompted legal and legislative actions. Deputy Florencia Carignano suggested Maximiliano Ferraro filed a formal request for information from the figures might be Ministry of Security and the National Directorate of Migration to clarify the actual number of expulsions. Furthermore, lawyer Valeria Carreras filed a confusion with border rejection statistics judicial complaint against Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva and argued former minister Patricia Bullrich, alleging a potential ‘breach of official duties and omission of reporting.’ Opposition figures, including Deputy Florencia Carignano, have criticized the focus on alleged terrorists President's statements, suggesting the claims may be an attempt to divert public attention from the country's economic challenges.
