Drunk Asian Expats To Be Deported And Denied Re-Entry
According to a security source, a Kuwaiti citizen reported the incident to the Ministry of Interior after noticing the two men sitting across from his residence for an extended period at a late hour. Upon approaching them to inquire about their presence, he found them in a highly disoriented and intoxicated state. Although they attempted to flee, they were unable to walk, let alone run.
Public Security officers responded to the report and dispatched a patrol unit to the scene. The two expatriates were apprehended and later admitted to consuming locally produced liquor.

19,000 Expats Deported, Blacklisted, and Fingerprinted from Kuwait
KUWAIT CITY, July 27: More than 19,000 expatriates have been deported from Kuwait since the beginning of this year, in a major enforcement campaign targeting illegal residents and labor law violators, a senior security source revealed. The deportations, which span from January 1 to July 2025, include individuals of various nationalities and both genders. Among those forced to leave the country were expats with absconding cases, street vendors, beggars, and those found in breach of residency and labor laws. Others were deported in the public interest or arrested for offenses related to alcohol, drugs, or substance abuse. The source confirmed that ongoing security campaigns led by multiple departments within the Ministry of Interior have resulted in the arrest of thousands of violators. 'The majority of deportees complete their departure within a week, depending on their destination and flight availability,' the official said, adding that the process is typically swift. The crackdown was particularly active during Ramadan, with around 60 beggars—both men and women—deported during the holy month alone. All deported individuals were fingerprinted at the airport and had their names added to the blacklist, making them permanently banned from re-entering Kuwait. Authorities have vowed to continue the clampdown to maintain order and protect public welfare.

Kuwaiti Gets 5 Years for Attempting to Sneak Out Revoked Citizens
KUWAIT CITY, July 27: The Criminal Court, presided over by Judge Al-Dhuwaihi, has sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen to five years in prison for attempting to smuggle individuals whose citizenships had been revoked. Additionally, the court handed down three-year prison sentences to several accomplices, including a corporal stationed at the Nuwaiseeb border crossing, his brother, and a stateless individual, for falsifying entry and exit documents. Meanwhile, the court chose not to impose penalties on three others (a man, a juvenile, and a woman) whose citizenships had also been revoked. Their arrests followed a coordinated ambush and surveillance operation conducted by detectives, which included photographing the suspects at the time of capture.

Kuwait Arrests 44 Workers in Surprise Raid Over Labor and Residency Violations
KUWAIT CITY, July 27: Kuwaiti authorities arrested 44 laborers during a surprise inspection at a major construction site, in a sweeping crackdown on illegal workers amid efforts to regulate the country's labor market. The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM), in coordination with the Joint Tripartite Committee, launched the unannounced raid at the Al-Naeem Housing Project under the directives of First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah. The campaign uncovered a range of labor violations, including workers found employed by companies other than their sponsors, laborers working in professions not listed on their permits, and individuals residing in Kuwait illegally. Among the violations: 12 workers were found under the domestic servant category (Article 20) but were working in construction. 1 worker was found violating the law under the shepherd category. 28 workers were employed by companies that were not licensed to operate on the site. 3 individuals were caught for residency violations. The arrested laborers were reportedly working under the names of Arab Contractors and First Group, without possessing the required permits and engaging in unauthorized job roles. In an official statement, PAM emphasized that the inspection is part of a broader campaign to enforce Kuwait's labor laws and create a safer, more organized work environment for all stakeholders. The authority affirmed that inspections will continue with full force and violators will face strict legal action. 'These measures are being implemented in collaboration with relevant agencies to deter violations and maintain the integrity of Kuwait's labor market,' the statement read.
