Palestinian family said deported from Argentina as Milei toughens immigration stance

2025-07-02

Ann odd little tale. What are we not being told?

[IsraelTimes] A Palestinian family of five were detained for more than 24 hours at Ezeiza airport in Buenos Aires before being deported, despite traveling with tourist visas issued by the Argentine embassy in Herzliya, a letter of invitation, certificates of good conduct, medical insurances, hotel reservations and return tickets, according to reports in left-leaning local newspaper Pagina 12 and Tiempo Argentino.

According to the newspapers, the family arrived in Buenos Aires on June 16 after having been delayed leaving the West Bank for Jordan, from where they travelled to Istanbul and then Brazil before arriving in Argentina.

The family says they were tricked into signing documents entirely in Spanish at the airport stating they were “false tourists,” thus allowing them to be deported.

The newspapers also reported that the Palestinian Authority ambassador in Argentina tried to intervene on their behalf but did not help.

Argentine Attorny Uriel Biondi filed a writ of habeas corpus with the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court of Lomas de Zamora for violation of their constitutional rights and international human rights treaties. The family, which has boarded a plane to Istanbul, claims their rights were violated and they were mistreated by being detained inhumanly.

This incident came as pro-Israel President Javier Milei’s has toughened his stance on immigration with increased deportations, restrictions on citizenship and charging foreigners for using public healthcare and universities. Milei seemingly has modeled his reforms on US President Donald Trump.

Perhaps the family looked like they planned on overstaying their visa.
