This included 5,793 individuals in violation of the residency system, 3,307 violating border security regulations, and 2,719 for labor law violations. Additionally, 1,382 people were apprehended attempting illegal border crossings, of whom 38% were Yemenis and 61% Ethiopians. Furthermore, 32 individuals who tried to cross the border unlawfully were detained, along with 19 involved in smuggling and harboring. Over 32,000 expatriates were subjected to regulatory procedures, with approximately 10,000 violators deported and some referred to diplomatic missions to benefit from facilitation programs. The Ministry of Interior emphasized that any facilitation of entry or sheltering of violators exposes them to penalties of up to 15 years in prison and a fine of one million riyals, urging the public to report through designated channels.
