The Ministry of the Interior has released a summary of the work done by Minister Jānis Dombrava (National Alliance) during his first 100 days in office, revealing that around 90 foreigners were added to the list of people banned from entering Latvia during this period.
Basis for the decisions
According to the ministry, these decisions were made based on assessments provided by the relevant security agencies. This means that each case was evaluated with input from security structures that assessed the specific individuals involved.
Context
People placed on the entry-ban list are denied the ability to enter Latvian territory. Such measures form part of the state's national security efforts, carried out by the Interior Ministry in cooperation with security services.
The figure of roughly 90 foreigners is one of the data points included in the broader Interior Ministry report summarizing Minister Dombrava's activities since taking office. The source material does not provide further details on the individuals' nationalities or the specific reasons behind each entry ban.
